scars?

So DD has a million tiny scars on her ankles, wrists, arms etc from all her lines (PICC, Central, and a million IVs) and they have always been visible. I keep expecting them to fade and now that shes a year old they are just as visible as ever.... anyone elses LO have this? Will they ever fade?

  • I can see faint little scars on their heels from all the heel sticks and Miles has a scar on his leg from his PICC line.  I have no idea about fading though.

  • Mine has a scar on her forehead from the CPAP. It has healed a lot, but is still very visible. Her hair is long enough to cover it now, but it's pretty obvious.

  • My son still has his scars from IV's he is two. Not sure if they will go away at some point or not.

  • Andrew still has lots too.  Most of them are slightly raised and whiteish.  I think they are going to be battle scars that last a lifetime!

  • My DD is almost 4 and I can still see every tiny scar :(  Her dermatologist said they would fade as she grows.  SIGH.

  • DS has a ton...one of the biggest is on his forearm from an IV ulcer that got rubbed by a no-no on top of the IV catheter.  It just keeps getting bigger as he grows.  I think they'll just be battle scars that they carry with them for a lifetime.  I tell him chicks dig scars!
