My 2 yr had stitches, what can I do to relieve the scar?!
Question: My 2 yr had stitches, what can I do to relieve the scar!?
Hiya, today my 2yr son slipped over and split his chin open (it was awful)!. He has a 2cm cut that needed 4 stitches, the doctor didn't use dissolvable stitches, how can I tell if the stitches are good!? will it hurt him getting the stitches out!? And how bad should I expect the scarring to be!? Alot of questions I know but I just want to be prepared for him!. ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com

The stitches are fine unless there's a lot of redness, swelling, pus and or a bad smell around the wound area!. As for it hurting when he gets them out- no it shouldn't as they cut the Little knot they made in the stitch and pull the stitch out, but it might pull a little and that could be more frightening than anything else- keep a brave face yourself and he should be fine!. Scars would be minimal- a small pale white line should be left once it's completely healed!. Beware of the itchy stitches- as the wound heals it'll get itchy and that's a good thing, but your little one may end up scratching a stitch out!. Just make sure it's clean (at least as best as you can- we are talking about a 2yr old boy) and don't worry too much!. He's young enough that he won't remember most of this experience anyway!. My son sliced his foot open (nearly lost a big toe) and had 8 stitches at 2, he's 4 nearly 5 and doesn't remember it and the scar isn't noticeable at all!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't worry as a boy they love battlewounds - he'll survive! If you want to minimise scarring use rosehip oil or cocoa butter!. It won't hurt getting the stiches out - they will probably come out by themselves or he'll end up pulling them out - you know how curious 2 year olds are!. Just do the ''your so brave' and he'll be good to go!. As a parent they look to you for guidance - so if you act like it's no big deal - so will he and chances are he'll be a bit more cautious in the future!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The cause for pimples are many and not only adolescence as
popularly believed!. Chronic constipation is one major cause,
the food we eat plays a very important role!. You will have
to cut down the fried food, chocolates, cheese and aerated
drinks!. Eat a lot of fresh fruits and green vegetables with
a lot of water!. Instead of washing the face with soap, use
orange peel powder!. Dry Orange peels in the shade for 4-5
days!. Powder finely and store!. Wash your face with this 2-3
times a day!. It clears the face and feels very refreshing!.
