How To Treat Burn Scar On Forehead?
I wiped out in my bedroom and have a broken nose and a 6 inch rug burn scar on my fore-head. I ve had broken noses before from soccer. But I have never had a 6 inch scar on my fore-head. I am putting Aveeno on it. This just occurred less than 48 hours ago. Will this rug burn heal with time? I am 54 years old.

Hi,
It seems that this is quite huge wound causing 6 inches scar.
Consult your doctor as soon as possible because you might require stitching of the wound.
If time lapsed then it will be difficult to take stitches.
With stitches itere will be faster healing and risk of having infection will be less.
Meanwhile apply antibiotic cream after proper cleaning.
Ok and take care.
