How To Get Rid Of Stitch Scar On Forehead?
Hi doc, I was fallen off the stairs when I was a kid it s been around 15 years (somewhere around 15 years) and therefore stitches were put onto my forehead to fix the injury. Now I have bad looking stitches scar on my forehead which I don t like at all. I went to kaya clinic and they ve recommended Q switch laser to lighten it, this is an expensive treatment. I m not sure if it will give me the results I want or if I should consult a plastic surgeon. Cost is not a problem but I don t want to be disappointed after spending a lot on these. Could you please tell me the best way to get rid of that stitches scar.

I can understand your concern.
You can start using a scar treatment cream called MEDERMA which is available over the counter.It takes time to see change.But it cannot be assured that the scar will completely disappear.And yes plastic surgery is a best option if cost is not a constraint.Hope my advise will be helpful to you.
