Asked By:Energetic46317 in Worcester, Massachusetts

My dog sliced my lip open on Dec 24th 2023. I immedietly went to the ER and for 2 stitches in which I got removed 1 week later per doctors orders. It has healed okay I would and it has only been 3 1/2 weeks since the incident. But I am extremely worried about the scar that I have on my lip not flattening. I’ve done research and think it is hypertrophic which I heard do go through a raised phase and then maybe flatten over time. I need a pro’s advise/insight. Also, what options do I have
