Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have three stitches on face and due to which scar is left over there. Need not to worry. You should apply face-wash containing benzoyl peroxide. You should visit dermatologist once and get it completely examined. You can go for procedures such as chemical peeling, micro-abrasion and laser as well. You should take proper prescription before going for any procedure. .Also drink 7-8 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
