A member asked:

How can i remove black scars on my baby's skin from insect bites?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leave them alone: Children's skin heals quickly. Give it time. Even a scar from a cut may fade away over a year or two. Keep it clean, avoid scratching and picking, and use a good sunscreen (depending on the age of your baby). If you have concerns, check with your baby's doctor.
