Re: [IPp] infusion site scars
We have those little scars too. I believe that many of them will be
permanent. My friend that is an adult has been pumping for over 5 years
and has little dotted scars all over her tummy that have been there for
years. They are very tiny and they definitely fade. I figure we still
get such a great benefit from the pump that we just have to accept that
she will have tiny scars.
