I got a big and raised facial mole removed on 14 August this year. The doctor cut the mole out and I got the stitches removed 7 days later. I avoided sun exposure and I used Contractubex twice a day. Now nearly three months later, the scar is still very visible and very dark. I really feel embarrassed in front of people and I always try to hide it, which is impossible. My confidence really went down and I just wish that it will fade. Does it look normal and can I do something about the darkness?
