Suggest Cream To Reduce Scars On Face Of A Child
my son is 4 years old, he had atopic eczema at the age of 18 months old (only on the face) and because of a wrong prescription/treatment, he has a scar on his face (similar to an acne scar/hole).
He's doing very well now, healthy and does not take any medicines.
The dermatologist suggested a feeling once the scar starts disturbing my son, since now he's still a child and does not pay attention to it.
Can I use a cream to reduce the scar? if so, what would you suggest?
Many thanks in advance.
