Hello,
Thanks for the query,

stitch marks can be removed medically as well as surgically.

Contratubex is good but takes lot of time,

Also LASERS are good in removing scars.

The modality of treatment can be decided only after seeing the scar.

A photograph would have helped me better.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
