Scraps on 5 year old boy , does it will leave scar and hat to do to prevent that ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Any injury to the kin could leave a scar but the likelihood depends on the depth of the scrape. If it is very superficial, it may not, if it is deep, there will be some scaring. Good wound care with cleansing and application of topical antibiotic ointment can limit the damage.
