This Shabbos, my baby fell and landed on a lego, bumping his head severely. The 4 protruding pieces pressed against the eyelid and forehead, and now there is a 4 peg lego impression! It looks freakingly gross! Two of the "pegs" are just lightly bloody scars, one is worse, and was is punctured like a cookie cutter kind of job. B"H, stitches weren't needed and we're just treating it with a special natural skin healing cream.

But the look of the lego impression is hysterically scary!

Sounds like when my son got hurt from my ab-lounge. I have no idea how it happened, but 1 min my kids were playing on it, the next minute he's crying. so I look at it, and and his "booboo" is an almost round circle and another circle in the center, but it just looked like a little nothing, just to be treated with bacitracin..... and guess what, it happened such a long time ago and he still has a scar.
My dd just recently called it a "target mark" b/c thats what it really looks like. LOL
I would suggest u put vitamin E ointment, she/he shouldnt have a scar there. I think for my son its too late now.

The cream I'm using is supposed to take care of the healing and scars, or so I was told.

What is the name of the cream that prevents scarring? I hope to never need it but it is good to keep in the house.

Poor thing! I'm glad he will be OK. I was thinking this thread would be about his face on the picture on the box, too.

Don't know the name. It is sold by someone in Monsey who does natural wound/burn healing. It is a small white jar with a label "skin healing cream", heard wonders about it.

OP here,

This morning it looks better B"H, only thing, now he really looks like Mr. Duplo. The swelling and bleeding is gone, so now the impression is nice, clean and clear! DH wanted to build a lego tower on him!

Now this is really freaky,

Two days ago, my ds who is now older and more mobile, puuled a chair over, climbed onto a table and fell landing on a lego, again!

Now he has the lego impression right over his eyelid, and more (the new ones) on the center of his forehead!

BTW, I'm the OP.

another way to help prevent scarring is to put lots and lots of sunscreen over the marks (once they are healed), even now in the winter. The sun does something that makes scars worse, I forget what exactly.
