[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please take her to a plastic surgeon now.  I am surprised the ER didn't call one in.[/quote]

I think they didn't call a plastic surgeon because she didn't need stitches and she has Medicare so I doubt they would pay for one.[/quote]

You mean Medicaid? We have that and you can get a dermatologist at Medstar quickly. We've seen several. Tell the receptionist that she had an accident and they can probably get her in to see an MD in two days, sometimes even same day. They will probably recommend Cetaphil type products to clean, no makeup (yay masks!) and DO NOT PICK. LOTS of "clean" moisturizer like Cetaphil because when it heals, it dries up and get super itchy.

Later, when everything is healed, there will be pink scars for a bit. Normally glycolic acid products are great at keeping cells turning over, reducing scarring. Ask the dermo for details.

And remind her often how pretty she is. I've worked with some of the most famous models and actresses in the world, and believe me, almost all have scars, often on the face. Clearly it doesn't stop them from being paid $50k/day....[/quote]
