I've had a stitch mark on my right chin since a childhood accident when I was three. Now at 25, I'm really curious about the best treatment options to finally get rid of it. What would you recommend? Are there any treatments that work well for old stitch marks like mine?

The stitch marks on your right chin have been a reminder of the childhood accident.
Treatment Options for Stitch Marks
- Topical Treatments: Topical creams or gels containing silicone, retinoids, or vitamin E can help improve the appearance of stitch marks.
- Chemical Peels: A series of chemical peels can help remove the top layers of the skin, reducing the appearance of stitch marks.
- Microdermabrasion: This non-invasive exfoliating treatment can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of stitch marks.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser treatments, such as fractional CO2 lasers or pulsed dye lasers, can help stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of stitch marks.
- Surgical Scar Revision: In some cases, surgical scar revision may be necessary to remove the stitch marks. This involves surgically removing the scar tissue and re-closing the wound.
Consult a Professional
It's essential to consult a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon to determine the best course of treatment for your stitch marks. They will assess the scar tissue, skin type, and other factors to recommend a personalized treatment plan.

View allI'm really confused about choosing the right cream for fairness between Kojivit gel, Kojivit plus, Kojivit ultra, or Demelan Cream. Could you help me figure out which one might be the best option?
Among the options you have mentioned, Kojivit gel is a good choice for fairness. It contains Kojic acid which helps in skin lightening and reducing dark spots. You can apply a thin layer of Kojivit gel on the affected areas twice daily for best results.

I recently had my first-ever full-body wax and followed it up with an oil massage. When I looked up post-waxing care, I realized I shouldn't have gone for the massage. During it, my body felt really warm. Now I'm kind of freaking out because I've still got rashes and redness on my arms and chest, and the pores on my legs seem open. Is this because of the massage I did after waxing? I'm really worried about what's going on with my skin. What should I do?
No need to worry, take rest and have patience those rashes could be due to Allergic reaction, stay hydrated and do not do both at the same time.
