2 Year Old Bumped Forehead. Bump and Laceration - Scarring?

My daughter bumped her forehead on a sharp corner and got a bump. I iced it and it went down, but there was a mark (laceration?) scabbing where she hit something sharp with her forehead. It never bled, just scabbed. A few days later she pulled the scab off. I kept polysporin and a band aid on it to prevent her from picking it more. I'm currently using Cicaplast and sunblock on it. I'm wondering if it will scar. It's a little indented. She's 2.5 years old. This happened 3 weeks ago. Thanks!

Scar prevention in kids who bump there head

Dear Valerie.  Thanks for the photos. Kids bumping into tables, chairs, corners cause a lot of distress to us all. This looks to be superficial and you are doing all the right things. Remember that the clouds in Saskatchewan dont protect your daughter from UV light, so keep a hat on her. Best Wishes
