My son scratched his face badly when he was about 6 months old. He is 2 now and I can still see a faint scar Altho no one else probably would. Interestingly last year he had an accident (fall) and needed stitches and that is healing probably better!

Hello!
super old post but wondering if his scar got better over time?
my baby has a 2/3cm mark under her eye from which she scratched herself at 5 weeks old, it doesn’t appear to be disappearing at 10 weeks old 😔

My son has this on his nose and he's 7. I remember him getting it as a baby from his cannula.

He just dug his face with his nails but if anything it’s got bigger with his face growing and got bigger as he got bigger and still just as deep no improvement at all and tried everything now I accept it’s apart of him. He wasn’t on my lap or I would of stopped him.
bless him still beautiful babies!!
