2 year old fell down and got a scar on her inner eyebrow. What are our options? (Photo)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

It is difficult to say with pictures alone. ​​I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing (see link). See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

Now no surgery is advisable. You can wait till child grows. The scar can blend well with skin by that time. You can keep on using scar cream. Basically scar is matured in 1 year time. The best thing you can do now is wait and watch.

Thank you for your question and photographs. It's difficult to evaluate your skin through this type of forum. With young children, there aren't many options besides topicals. However, the skin on children is very resilient and tend to heal well, so be patient. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist to have the scar evaluated and to discuss appropriate treatment options. Take care and good luck.
