Any Suggestion To Remove Lump Under Scar?

Hello,

I had 8 stiches above my eyebrow on my forhead around one and a half weeks ago. I
The cut was deep and took a while to heal (the skin)

The scar looks better now but I have a hard lump under the scar and I can't raise my eyebrow with the lump.
Is this normal? Thanks

Hi, welcome to healthcare magic forum.

Yes it is normal because during stitching suture material used takes time to disintegrate so it will take time to go say about 40-50 days, followed by remodeling during the healing phase will cause your lump to disappear.

Thanks
