Hello,
After months is difficult to improve scar from stitches.
Anyway, if there is no infection, creams containing collagen such as Altergen, Ialuset, Cicatrix, etc. may help in some degree.
The opinion of a Dermatologist also may be of help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
