Suggest Medication To Remove Marks On Face
Hi, I would like to know if something could be done for the marks that I ve on my face: 1. The stitches on the face because of a minor surgery- Its been almost 4 years I had a surgery and for which doctor gave me stitches on my face, and the marks for the same is still there. 2. Bitten by a dog- almost 2 years ago, I was bitten by a dog on the nose that left a very prominent mark on my face. Would it be possible to get rid of these marks? Seeking advise. Thank you in advance. Regards.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have stitches marks and dog bite marks on your face .There are many treatment options available for for stitch marks like laser therapy,chemical peeling and micro abrasion .The ERBIUM laser therapy has very good results for it.
In case of dog bite marks there are also many options available .A bite usually destroy underlying tissue which make it little difficult to remove them .But we can get them remove by fat grafting method ,laser treatment and dermabrasion. Choice of method will be depend upon the condition of underlying tissue ,which will be decided by dermatologist.
For now ,i would suggest that in both cases use sunscreen (SPF30) ,prevent exposure to sun and vitamin E based cream
Hope your concern had been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
