How can I treat railroad track mark scars after mole excision?

Question

It's been 13 days since my mole excision. Some sutures were removed on day 7 and others were removed on day 9. Since the sutures were removed, I've noticed some railroad track marks on the stitches. Will these suture marks disappear? Also, how long does it take for the incision line to disappear/flatten out? Right now there is a noticeable line from where the incision was. Is there any benefit in massaging the area?

Thank you for your question. In my experience, marks from sutures remain permanent and heal time after an incision can take a few months. There are some topical scar therapies available to help minimize scarring, so I highly recommend you consult with your surgeon regarding your questions and concerns and to discuss treatment options. Take care and good luck.
