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

May 8, 2018
Asked By:f_tee in Toronto, ON

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?
