Child Scar from Barbed Wire Fence

rustyjo
My 7yr old daughter, hit a barbed wire fence and now has a gash across her check. The doctor at the hospital used glue and put steri strips across the cut (no stitches needed). Any idea what kind of scar she will have and if it will heal okay? What can we put on the scar afterward to make the appearance less?
