Pediatric scar removal options? (Photo)

August 10, 2023
Asked By:MichiganMom00 in Boon, Michigan

My 2.5 year old daughter received an injury scar to her forehead last September. She received 3 chromic gut (not fast absorbing gut) dissolvable sutures that were in for 10 days before being removed in office. She has the cross hatch mark/railroad track mark prominently from one of the sutures in the form of a hypopigmented line going through the laceration scar. Looking for a provider with pediatric injury scar experience (laser, excision, etc.). Willing to travel, not concerned about cost.
