Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query.Usually residual marks remain after healing.There are many methods to get rid of stitch marks ,although your stitch marks are very old but there are some methods like

-Massage the area with olive or almond oil to increase the blood supply to that area so that it will heal itself from within.Do it 2-3 times daily.

-Keep exfoliating your dead skin from that site.

-Use cream like contratubex cream ,which is very effective in case of old stitch marks .It has ingredients like cepae extract,heparin an allantoin ,which work excellently together .Massage it to only affected area 2-3 times daily for 2 -3 months, avoid contact with eyes.Also read instructions before use.

If marks still persists consult dermatologist .Doctor may recommend you laser therapy or dermabrassion procedure.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
