I was in an accident recently and ended up with 3 stitches just above my lips, right below my nose. The stitches are healing well, but I'm really concerned about the scar that's forming. Could you recommend an ointment or cream that would help with scar removal? I'm just a bit anxious about this and would love some advice.

You can use Mederma ointment for scar removal. Apply a thin layer of Mederma ointment on the scar area 3 times a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement in the appearance of the scar.

This can be caused by various underlying issues such as infections, inflammation, thyroid disorders, or certain medications. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I've been having this weird swelling on my forehead, almost like I bumped it or got bitten by an insect. It doesn't happen too often, maybe 2 or 3 times over the last couple of months, but it's been going on for about six months now. Can anyone help me figure out what it might be?
