Asked By:Covina707 in Pasadena, CA

Scars are amazingly invisible and not red. when i applied scar cream on my scars i can feel new stitches coming out...i went to my doctor, and he removed them ?! is this mean he did not see them or it is true that they come out in process of healing as he said? He said if they will come out again and it bothers you i will remove them, or they will dissolve.
