I'm really worried about this stitch mark on my face. I can't afford laser treatment right now. Are there any other options I can try to help get rid of these marks?

Removing stitch marks can be challenging, but there are some affordable alternatives to laser treatment.
Topical Treatments
- Silicone Gel or Sheets: Apply silicone-based products to the affected area to help flatten and soften the scar tissue.
- Cocoa Butter or Coconut Oil: Massage these oils into the scar tissue to promote collagen production and improve skin texture.
- Vitamin E Oil: Apply vitamin E oil to the affected area to promote skin healing and reduce the appearance of scars.
Home Remedies
- Aloe Vera: Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm the skin, reducing the appearance of scars.
- Tea Tree Oil: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil and apply it to the affected area to promote skin healing.
- Turmeric: Turmeric contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce the appearance of scars.
Medical Treatments
- Chemical Peels: A dermatologist can perform a chemical peel to help remove the top layers of skin and reduce the appearance of scars.
- Microdermabrasion: This non-invasive exfoliating treatment can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars.
- Steroid Injections: A dermatologist can inject steroids into the scar tissue to help reduce inflammation and flatten the scar.

View allI'm dealing with so much acne all over my face, and it's turning red and black like something's burned it. It's really irritating, and I'm getting these wrinkles and pores because of the acne. My eyes are also suffering; they're red, burning, and feel really irritated, especially behind them. A few months ago, I got something like ringworm and it turned into a huge mess. I've tried using clobetasol and powercort GM, but once I stop using them, the issues just come back. Sunlight makes it even worse, causing irritation and making my eyes tear up. My skin looks really aged with all the black and dark redness and the wrinkles. Can you please advise me on what I should do?
