Hello
To help reduce the stitch mark it is important to protect the area from the sun but using sunscreen regularly during the day and also the wound will take few more months before it is totally contracted and get the final size. If the mark remains the same you will need to do some cosmetic or plastic surgery repair to reduce the scar.
