Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My four-year-old daughter had a cut near her eye as she fell down. It is about 1.2 inches. The doctor asked me for stitches but stitches may leave mark on her face. The doctor suggested plastic surgery. Please advise. I have attached a photograph.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and I must tell you the cut is deep. It requires stitches as soon as possible. Otherwise, there is a chance of infection and bleeding. You can ask for cosmetic sutures if the scar issue bothers you that should not leave any noticeable scar. Regards. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
