Eat Healthy: Scar will ultimately depend on severity and nature of laceration. Eating a healthy, well balanced diet can help you heal, since your body will have the nutrients it needs to do its job. Vitamin E supplementation may decrease scar formation. If your wound starts to itch, resist the urge to scratch it. Don't pick at it when it scabs over, you could open it back up again can cause worse scarring.

Deforming Force.: Now hold on a cotton picking minute. The stitches may not be the culprit here. It could very well be the talent of the doctor who put the stitches in, as well as post-operative complications. Even a keloid reaction could be to blame. Eating healthy is always good advice.
