My 2 year daughter had some bacterial infection in the form of deep wounds having black crusts. The black crust or scab has fallen off leaving behind pinkish whitish scar. Will this scar be permanent? Or how long will it take to restore the original colour of the skin. Please advise what to do. As of now I am using contractubex ointment and tacroz ointment. But improvement is very very slow.

Hello, Scars take Two to three month for the pigmentation to appear. Contaracubex is ok to use but should not use tarcroz as it will form dark spots. Use sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation.
