The galea could not be visualized, but wound did not appear to extend to the galea.The wound was thoroughly irrigated with normal saline and subsequently the wound was anesthetized using 1% Xylocaine with epinephrine. Following this, the wound was closed using 40 Vicryl and 40 Prolene suture. The patient tolerated the procedure well. He was given a tetanus booster as a precaution and the mother was counseled regarding potential side effects. He has been advised to keep the wound clean and dry and his mother has been advised that he should be rechecked should the wound become reddened, increasingly painful or if any purulent drainage should be noted exuding from the wound. The sutures are to be removed in 7-10days.
