Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi doc, my friend got a cut of around 1 inch above the elbow, it s not deep, but I feel I should ask her to go to a nursing home n get it stitched. But it s already more than 6 hrs. Should she still take stitches? And if not then will laser treatments cure the scar later on.

How To Treat An Old Scar On The Elbow?
Hello, 6 hours no problem, the wound is deep and long better suture it. Near elbow, if muscle stretch healing will be a problem, better go to the doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr C.ELANCHEZHIAN, General & Family Physician
