hi fawad;
As your nephew is young it will fade away over years;but stitch marks don't go away easily.still if you are in India try applying a homoeopathic ointment of Calendula for long period.
thanks

Hi! fawad,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
fawad,it would be very difficult to completely vanish a scar mark,but it would fade gradually with time .But if the scar is very wide then you can consult a plastic surgeon who would excise it and make it smaller.If the scar is too red then you can also go for PDL laser which too can soften a scar and reduce its appearance. You can use contraxtubex cream over the area twice a day to soften it a bit.This you would get in any medical store.Better to consult a dermatologist before taking a decision.
take care,
Dr.chawda
