How To Get Rid Of Stitches Scar?
Can I get rid of old stitches scar(just above my eyebrow area-centre) without plastic surgery or laser. I have tried laser in the past, but not much difference. The scar is not very dark, but it is seen. A part of it is slightly raised. I have brown skin tone. Got this scar 4 years back. Please tell me what other ways I can try by self to fade the scar. Will any peels help? P.S: I am 24 years old. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for contracting HCM with your health care concerns.
You have a scar above your eyebrow and want to know how to reduce th scar. Unfortunately the only way to reduce the scar is to have plastic surgery to remove the old scar. Other treatments including lotions will not change the character or appearance of scar tissue. Scar tissue is permanent
