In fact thats what my dermatologist recommended after a big biopsy/Mohs procedure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767466 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 22:25:49 +0000 ALV91711 2767466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About two weeks ago DS did a face plant on the road. His nose was pretty scraped up. Along with forehead, upper lips and knees. </p> <p>We just cleaned it up good and left it. He's healed up pretty good but still has a red mark on his nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767462 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 22:18:49 +0000 PinkElephant 2767462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alba4: I was also told (by my daughter's swim instructor, not a doctor) that A&amp;D ointment can work wonders on scrapes. She suggested we try it after my daughter really ate it in the parking lot and tore up her knees because she herself had really bad facial scrapes at age 3 from falling out of a bike trailer - no scars I can see on her as an adult, and that's what she says her mom used on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767430 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 18:25:45 +0000 Alba4 2767430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: His looks similar, but it covers his entire nose and the bridge. </p> <p> So I called he after hours line and they said Neosporin. Sounds like there are must be lots of good remedies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767426 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 18:15:04 +0000 gotkimchi 2767426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alba4: I use/recommend aquaphor for everything! So I would use that just for comfort but I feel like kids tend not to scar because they heal so fast </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767415 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 16:30:50 +0000 BeachMama 2767415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had a nasty scrape on her nose/upper lip after falling face first out of the stroller when she was 2. We were told to put nothing on it. Three years later and there's no scar. </p> [attach=2021/17/oun7re.450x600.IMG_2880.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767395 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 12:33:15 +0000 MrsSRS 2767395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A nurse told me to avoid neosporin unless you're covering the wound. I'd do vitamin e in the morning and lanolin at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767386 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 11:14:43 +0000 Alba4 2767386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read that Aquaphor works well? Any experience with that? I know it is important not to let it dry out, so Neosporin had been working well so far... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767383 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 10:41:12 +0000 Ginabean3 2767383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can also try kelo-cote <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kelo-Cote-Advanced-Formula-Scar-Grams/dp/B003TBYW74" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Kelo-Cote-Advanced-Formula-Scar-Grams/dp/B003TBYW74</a></p> <p>My oldest got a nasty cut from the corner of a drawer on her forehead and I used kelo-cote and mederma (and religiously kept her face shaded/used sunscreen) and you can't see it anymore! </p> <p>Agree about neosporin, I'm actually one of those people who are allergic to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767355 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 05:56:33 +0000 maddyz 2767355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think sometimes Neosporin can actually make scaring worse. Lots of people have allergic reactions to it that make scaring worse. It also speeds up healing and that can cause scaring too I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767228 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 21:15:27 +0000 travellingbee 2767228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I was also going to suggest vitamin E. poor guy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767209 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 19:48:19 +0000 PinkElephant 2767209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor guy! We've had good luck with the gel inside vitamin e capsules (I pop them with a pin) - just the kind from the vitamin n aisle, spread directly on the scar at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wound-care-pre-k-edition#post-2767164 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 16:55:02 +0000 Alba4 2767164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 4 year old was running on the playground at school, tripped, and flew over a bike landing on his face. Ouch. He has some gnarly road rash on his nose and lip. I was planning on regular coatings of Neosporin. Other than that, any suggestions or advice. Since it's on his beautiful face, I'd like to prevent scarring. Should I use Mederma once it heals? </p>
