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.

I'm really worried because my face and neck are a lot darker than the rest of my body. I've also got these dark spots on my face, especially on both sides of my forehead, which are even darker. I recently started using a sunscreen with SPF 50, but it hasn't made any difference. I used to play outside in the sun a lot around 4 years ago, and I wonder if that's what's causing this. What can I do to fix this? I'm really looking for some advice on how to lighten these areas and get rid of the dark spots.

I've been dealing with acne and got advice from a dermatologist to try isotroin 10mg. I think it helped a lot, but now I'm experiencing blurred vision. Is this something that can happen with isotroin, or could it just be a random coincidence?
Blurred vision as a side effect of isotretinoin (Accutane) is rare but possible, as it can cause eye problems like dryness, irritation, or even inflammatory conditions like uveitis; however, it's also possible that the blurred vision is coincidental or related to another underlying condition, so it's essential to consult your dermatologist or an ophthalmologist
