Hai, Thanks for choosing HCM,
The tightening is due to scar fibrosis. It may persists 3 more weeks. you may feel tightening till that time. Afterwards it may relax. In meanwhile
1)Use Moisturizer with Alum septa and aloe Vera on Scar area.
2) Cap vitamin E 400 PO daily for 3 weeks.
3) If not respond, go for Intralesional steroid
I.e Triamcinolone 40 mg on affected area will give good result.
Hope this answer will help you.
