Two questions:

i have a scar 1/2 inch long 1/4 inch wide on shoulder from a basal cell cancer removal, is raised very noticable, itchy, uncomfortable, what can be done to make it look/feel better?

Other question 17month old son put a metal shower hook in mouth one month ago and badly scraped the inside of his cheek, infact it almost went through the skin, now he has a bump about the size of a half pea where it happened, will it go away in time or will it be permanent, can anything be done? There is also a tiny pink spot on the outside of the cheek where it happened

You really need to go to the doctor on both of these things if you want. About your son, you really should go to the doc! How did he get a metal hook? It could be infected! Did you ever take him to the doc??
