When i was 6 i met with an accident and got 11 stitches on my chin and now its a 12 years old scar. is there any cream or gel for the scar removal?

See below: It is unlikely that a topical treatment will change the scar. You may wish to consult a plastic surgeon to see if ultrasonic treatment may change the scar. You could also opt to have the scar "removed" . For the time being you could use make-up to camouflage the scar. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
