Hi doctor,

My 2 year old hurt himself, at the lower lip, from the corner of a table while playing. It's been some days now. His wound has healed but there is a small cut on his lower lip which doesn't seem to be fading. I am attaching a close-up of the same. please have a look and suggest what can I apply on this to cure it. And can this be cured or not.

You can apply bettnovate skin cream to it, I think it is effective and the scar will be gone soon, also any pediatrician prescribed skin cream can work as baby's skin is gentle and can recover fast.
