My daughter was born with a scar on her face, under her right eye, near her upper cheekbone. At birth it was white & flat, but now, at 17 months, it is raised. I wonder if it has vernix trapped under it and this is the white coloring. Should we be concerned or is there anything we can do for it? Her pediatrician has never remarked. Thank you.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of scar on face which occurs due to clogged facial pores that get infected with bacteria. Need not worry. I would suggest you to apply cream rich in Atelier acid or Comic acid. Avoid touching or pricking. You should take diet rich in multivitamins. It will lighten pigmentation on skin. Use medicated sunscreen such as Tan care rich in SPF 30. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments. You can visit dermatologist/ pediatrician once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving. Take supplements rich in vitamin C. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
