A child with 5 stitches in the face will usually have a scar, but the size and depth of the scar depends on the depth, length and width of the wound, as well as the child’s own repair, and whether or not it is a keloid.
The child’s face has a strong ability to repair itself, if it is not keloid, and the wound is shallow, the repair effect will be very good, and the scar will not be very obvious.
During the recovery period, you can also apply some creams containing silicone, Centella asiatica, onion extract or keloid patches, which will help to lighten the scar. If the scar is obvious, further treatment can be done at a later stage when the wound recovers, which needs to be determined by the doctor according to the situation after 3~6 months after the stitches are removed.
In summary, the longer the time, the scar marks will become more and more faded, it is recommended that the current situation is first of all to pay attention to the child’s wounds do not get infected, and then to wait until the later to see how the recovery effect, if necessary, can be considered for keloid scar repair.
