Generally speaking, if the baby is born with six fingers, it can be treated surgically later. The baby's six fingers belong to congenital polydactyly, so don't worry too much, just need surgery. However, it is usually necessary to wait until the baby is 6 months old before the operation, because the baby is more tolerant of the anesthetic itself in this period of 6 months, and the earlier the operation is performed, the impact on the normal development of other fingers will be relatively small.
At the same time, parents should pay more attention. After the operation, the baby should try to avoid getting wet at the operation site. Parents should have more contact with the baby, divert the baby's attention and avoid the baby's wound, because the baby still likes to move more, which will lead to the rupture of the seam. Also ensure that the baby's environment needs to be quiet and comfortable. Rest is conducive to the recovery of wounds, to the maintenance of the body, and to the rest of the baby. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid secondary infection of the baby's wound and pay attention to keeping the wound clean and sterile.
Usually the wound will heal gradually about two weeks after the operation, and the baby can also wash his hands with clean water. At this time, the wound is basically healed, and it will be completely healed about one month after operation, but there will be a scab on the surface of the wound, but this scab will slowly fall off later. Parents should pay attention to avoiding the baby scratching this scab with their hands to avoid leaving scars in the future. In fact, during pregnancy, my mother must have regular check-ups. If there is a problem, she should be treated early.
