What Are The Possible Treatments To Cure Stitch Marks?

Hi, My child is 18 month old. She fell down and cut about an inch on the top of her upper lip at left side. Doctor put 3 stitches. Is there a way to get rid of the stitch marks by putting any ointment/cream/oil etc. Also please suggest if there is any surgery available which we can try when she gets older ??

Hi



Now it is too early to decide.



With time and growth it may become less obvious.



Wait and watch.



God bless
