How to Remove or Improve Facial Scar on 2 Year Old?

January 6, 2010
Asked By:saranjoy in Traverse City, Michigan

My 2 year old daughter fell on a toy with a sharp edge 4 weeks ago. It was deep but I didn't take her to the ER because it stopped bleeding after 5 minutes or so. I didn't think it needed stiches but now I don't know if it would have helped to get them because there is a scar there now. I want to remove it or at least improve it because its right on her cheek on the front of her beautiful face. Will it fade over time naturally? I'm using mederma and silicone pads. What more can I do?
