Question 8

Question 9

what is a way to heal scars on babys forehead?

Accepted Answer

They will improve: Scars are permanent but almost all fade with time. This process takes longer in babies than in adults because their healing processes are more robust. Protect the scars from sunlight while there is any pink left in them; they will burn easily and, if tanned, may be tanned permanently. I would not expect the scar to assume its final form until the age of 4-5. Do not rush into scar revision.

Question 10

how do you flatten a raised scar on forehead?

Accepted Answer

Keloid?: Some people have a genetic predisposition to large, raised scars called keloids. There is not really any great solution for them. Some doctors try injecting them with steroids or using a laser or scalpel to remove them (and hope it doesn't come back). Moisturizing lotions, oils, vitamin E, etc, might be of some help.
