Hi doctor, About three months ago, a bathroom wall mirror fell on me and sliced my left cheek open. It resulted in a pretty deep cut on cheek about 6 cm of my cheek. I got stitches in an hour and it has been healing well I think. I have also been massaging the scar every day for 10 minutes with Cicaplast for over a month. I was told to completely avoid the sun on my scar. I wear SPF 70 sunscreen every time I leave my home and I simply do not let it get exposed. I use whatever is on my hands to cover it. The only thing is that it is getting very complicated. I am in college and cannot do anything because I am too afraid to be in the sun. My question is, do I still have to cover my scar or is sunscreen enough? I really miss being able to just walk to college without fabric on my face. Please help.
