Now my son is 4 months and he has a scar but whenu touch it u can feel like a lump .what can it be
[|AI|]  Hi there. Thank you for contacting us. This scar is full of scar tissue which is fibrous. That's why it feels like a lump. If it is still red, you may want to use some rose hips or scar medication that is over the counter. My twin nieces, born 9 weeks early, had an IV many weeks. They are now 16 and the scar has gotten longer but causes no problems. Often times we need to exchange one extreme problem for a lesser problem. Catching it early and trying to treat it with skin cream for scars may help since his skin is so young. I hope that helps. Thank you for contacting us.
