  5. I've been dealing with some lingering issues after a bike accident about six months ago. The left side of my face was injured and it has been swollen ever since. The swelling hasn't gone down and there are still some light marks, plus the skin feels really thin around that area. I'm getting a bit worried and am wondering how I might treat this. Any advice on what steps I should take might be helpful.

To address the lingering facial swelling and scarring from your bike accident six months ago, consider consulting a plastic surgeon for personalized advice, and in the meantime, try using topical treatments like silicone gel or sheeting, vitamin E oil, or aloe vera to promote skin healing and reduce scarring, and also massage the affected area gently to improve circulation and break down scar tissu
