DD just fallen on stairs - got carpet burns to chin and shin - should I just leave or put something on them?

They look really sore - I've got sudocreme and savlon etc. Don't know whether to leave them alone :(

Just leave them I think.

Thank you SD, thats what I have done and they don't seem to be bothering her now :)

I think they look worse than they are :) DS2 got one falling against the sofa and he didn't whinge much at all(he's a bit of a drama queen!)

Leave them,ds2 fell down in-laws stairs last week and got carpet burns on his nose and head a scab has formed on the area now.Although he's a so and so for picking.

If you can, try to find an ointment called Zambuk - in a green and white tin, maybe from a healthfood store or a pharmacy - it is fabulous stuff for grazes etc - also try rubbing the scab with a little vitamin E oil and you will find that when the scab finally goes there won't be much of a scar left at all - if that's a worry.
