Old scar on forehead + forehead wrinkles = Yikes!!! (Photos)

January 6, 2017
Asked By:jordaro2002 in South Carolina, SC

I have had a vertical scar on my forehead for the last 15 years. I got stitches in 2000 when I busted my head open. The scar never fully healed. I used silicone sheets, cocoa butter, mederma, and sunscreen at various times, but I have been lax lately. I had come to accept the scar, but in the last 3 months, I have started to see forehead wrinkles. It is hard to manage both without becoming completely demoralized. What course of action should I take? I live in Columbia South Carolina. Thank you.
