If ur asking about scar? U can try hekilak ointment.. but the issue is not the ointment per se but regular massaging of the scar... Keep this in mind to doit every day... 5 times a day.. atleast 2 to 3 times each time.. apply the ointment (even coconut oil is enough) and massage for 2 to 3 minutes.... Tat will help the scar to heal well... It's ideal to remove forehead sutures in 5 to 7 days... I dono why it was delayed to 14 days!! Consult online with me if u have any doubts
