How to Treat the Wound in Order to Avoid Scarring? (photo)
My 18 m old son hit his lower lip on table 1,5 months ago. We did not do any sutures. A week after the hit we visited 3 specialists, 2 of them told us that it would not leave a scar but one of them told us to start a treatment with scarfix cream for 3 mo and after visit him again. My concern is that although 1,5 m have passed the right area of the wound as you see the pic is a bit raised/swollen and bit hard when you touch. Will this stay like this or will flatten in time. Any other treatment?
