Cuts, scrapes and scars are a part of growing up. As parents, it's important that we know how to treat wounds and scars in a timely manner, so as to minimise the appearance of childhood scars.
The first thing to understand is that cuts, scrapes and scars are not the same thing. Cuts, scrapes, burns or surgery result in wounds - and after these wounds heal, a scar may form as a result of the healing process.
This is where scar treatments can help to reduce the appearance of your child's scar.
