What is the lapse of time for redness to fade after stitch removal? / myLot

Hi dear Thanks for replying back. Infact it is not a wound, but I had a mole removed from my cheek. So, the redness is still here. Tomorrow the Dr. will prescribe me creams to buy. It is two weeks today and there is only a slight difference in the redness. I hope it will fade quickly.

Hi Kevin! I wouldn't worry too much! It can take quite awhile for stich removals to heal. The wound can stay read for a very long time, even a year or more! Don't be concerned with it! It will heal and you will be left only with a tiny white scar where the stiches were! And as time goes on even that won't be visible! I have had stiches before and they heal pretty well and depending on where they are they heal in different degrees! I had stiches in my hand about 25 years ago and you can hardly see where I had them and they were pretty bad! Just be patient!

Hey that's a very good reply. You are right time is the best healer....:) I will be patient indeed and will start applying creams and will continue my routine with aloe vera. Thanks for the good reply my friend

The redness will begin to fade quite quickly now, but a way of helping is to rub vitamin E oil into the scar.

Yes, throughout the net, it says to use vitamin E oil...thanks for the reply...Infact I've had the stitch, and it's two weeks after stitch removal now...there is only a slight difference in the redness...I've been using aloe vera..my doctor told me it will take three months for it to be fine and he will be prescribing me some creams this week. Thanks for the reply friend
