Title: Will my stitch scar fade? (15 days after injury)
Post by: Cricfan on Apr 18, 2026, 03:24 PM
Hi everyone,

I had an accident on April 4th and got stitches on my forehead. The wound has healed now, but it left a noticeable scar/mark.

It's been around 15 days, and the area still looks darker and a bit uneven compared to the rest of my skin. I'm a bit worried if this will fade or stay permanent.

Right now, I'm using a simple routine: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and a serum (not vitamin C).

Is this normal at this stage of healing? Will it fade over time, and is there anything else I can do to improve it?

Any advice or similar experiences would really help. Thanks!

Hope someone can chime in with an answer, I don't have one yet.

Glad to hear you're recovering, brother. Take care of yourself. Much love.

Unfortunately they won't fade. You'll need to see a dermatologist. Give it some time to heal first, then book an appointment for scar treatment.
