My 3-yr-old daughter's pediatrician sent her to the E.R. for a repair of a gash on her forehead.The on-duty physician said there was no need to use a plastic surgeon and used Dermabond and a steri-strip to close the wound.After 2 wks. the wound looks terrible with a depression between the wound edges.Should the dr. have used stitches? When should we consider scar revision? Will a scar revision make the scar look as good as it would have looked if it had been repaired correctly the first time?
