Hurt Head During Play And Outer Corner Of Eye. Cut Visible. No Bleeding. What Should I Do?

Hi. My 11 1/2 month old was jumping on the bed about a month ago & hit the head board on the bed & cut the outer corner of his right eye. This morning he fell in his crib & cut it again in the very same place.
* It healed the first time, but the red line of where it was cut was still visible.
I'm wondering what I should do & is this normal?
Thank you.

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your 11 months old child has sustained injury near his corner of the eye which has healed up without taking a stitch. Now he has sustained injury at the same site and you have noticed a red line at the site of injury,
This is nothing but a well healed linear scarand nothing to worry about.
