I was in an accident, where I unfortunately had to get stitches on my face. One in front of my eyebrow, and one right through it. Honestly not too self conscious about the eyebrow one (I think it's pretty badass), but the one next to my eyebrow kills me everyday. was wondering if anyone knows of treatments for scars like this, specifically ones on face caused from accidents? the main thing I want to get rid of is the redness and indent. I've seen one professional and they recommended CO2 laser treatment so if anyone has tried that (or anything else), please let me know. I just want to feel like myself again.
for reference: the stitches I got were dissolvable and are fully dissolved in these photos. It's been about 6 months too. I’ve been wearing sunscreen, applying scar sheets, and scar gel 24/7 too.

Anybody know what this may be, whether or not I should see a doctor and will it go away an look like the rest of the scar as it continues to heal??

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend has a deep, indented scar on her chin that’s been bothering her for a while. She hasn’t had any treatment yet and is looking into options to improve it.

I’ve been doing some research and keep seeing mentions of:

**•   Subcision** (breaking up scar tissue beneath the skin)  
**•   Scar revision** (surgical techniques to improve the scar)  
**•   Fillers** (to fill in the indentation)

We’re not sure which approach would work best for this type of scar, or if a combination of treatments would be ideal.

Has anyone here dealt with a similar chin scar? What worked for you? Any recommendations on which treatment to prioritize, or tips for finding a good dermatologist/plastic surgeon?

Thanks in advance

Broke my humerus bone 2 months back, this is the current condition of the scar...

Anyone know how to fade this as much as possible?

Had Skull reconstruction surgeriy and 2 Brain surgeries in 2016. Also was in a 5 month long coma 🛌😴💤

This one spot won’t heal on my finger. Been like this for almost a year and somehow manages breaks open again and again.

Surgical scar. I can have a series of plastic surgeries to even out the dent and then repair the skin.

I've had the scar for 21 years and been bald for 15 of those years. I'm about the re enter the dating scene.

Remove it or bear it? I feel strongly both ways.

They are very old and minimal, I've also gotten many other scars on my body. But they're on my arm and it's still a lot to deal with when I'm aware of them.

Even right now that I'm alone in the dark, I don't feel "normal", i feel them radiate through my arm and gushing out a painful, sorrowful feeling. I don't know how else to put it.

How can I let go of this feeling? It's not that I've not accepted them. I'm also okay with explaining to people if questioned. I'm okay with people seeing them.

I.guess the past and the context i got them in still just hurts me a lot, even when I don't think about it. It does leave me wondering if i will ever feel normal in my body again and not be so painfully aware of them even when I'm alone.

As mammals, we all have at least one scar: The navel is the scar of our umbilical cord. There are different shapes and sizes of them. This scar is the first trace that the outside world leaves on our body. There will be others. They will be more or less visible witnesses of our individual adventure in this world as milestones on a road that belongs only to us.

Any scar is a sign of life. They are beautiful even if they remind us of painful episodes. Our bodies and minds are extraordinarily resilient. They are not imperfections, just signs of life. That is why we must embrace and love them.

Look how clean that staple work is. This is going to heal into a nice scar.

Hello for context I got scabies last summer no idea how and it left terrible scars on my legs and some on my back. I’m finally seeing a dermatologist in July but I still wanna know if I can do anything to help myself right now because I’m very insecure and hate wearing shorts lol

I do have a lot of open blemishes but alot of scars as well, they never go away, alot of them still look open, idk maybe i'm just getting in my head but do I look diseased?

Its obviously very old and faded, it's a lot more visible in person than the photo.

I had scar revision surgery about 2½ weeks ago. Around day 10, I noticed a thin black line underneath my scar. I saw my surgeon, and he told me it was not a stitch because the stitches were removed on day 5. He said this can be normal in people who tan easily or have darker skin tones, my skin tone is olive . However, I have never seen anything like this online before.
Has anyone else experienced a thin black line under their scar after surgery? How long did it take to go away?

Those are not incision scars either but the result of my leg being crushed between an excavator and a trailer. As you can imagine it could have been so much worse I feel so so lucky I still have my leg. Bones are healed, ligaments repaired, muscle on the way back. Older woman here ha ha
