When my child had a small scar from a fall, I was really worried about how it would heal. I spoke to my plastic surgeon, Dr Colin Tham, and he said that while creams can help a bit, they won’t do much for deeper scars. He recommended waiting for the wound to fully heal, then considering laser treatment if the scar stays visible. I still used a gentle cream to keep the skin soft, but I followed his advice for the long-term results. It helped to hear it from someone who sees this often.
