Will The Stitches On Child's Forehead Leave Scar?
5 days back my child who is 2.5 years old fell down and got cut in the forehead. She got 3 normal stiches which needs to be removed. Will it leave a scar or will it get clear on its own? Tomorrow is the stich removal day and should any special ointment need to be applied as well so that it does not leave scar?

Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
It is common for stitches to leave small marks
Don't apply any ointment unless there is active infection
Wishing your child speedy recovery and good health
