How to HEAL (your face) from Stitches and Scars

Part 3 of 3:

How to proactively treat and heal a (facial) scar.

The aftermath of fainting and hitting my head has been dealing with the scar it left behind. There is a noticeable line above my right eye, it has been there since January 17, 2019.

Consistent, frequent ice packs will help with headaches caused by concussions and contusions.
