Question
Hello sorry to hear about your recent fall. If you have stitches it is best to get exemption from any strenuous activity. Scars on the leg will typically take 2 weeks to heal. During that time, the wound should be kept clean and dry to prevent infection. Also strenuous activity may put your wound at risk of dehiscence, where the stitches come apart and the wound opens up. Hope you recover quickly and are able to resume your normal activities soon!
Best regards

Our face is constantly exposed to dirt, bacteria, skin care or cosmetic products. If you don’t clean your face thoroughly, it’s easy for pores to get clogged. The best way to prevent clogged pores is to follow a good daily skin care regimen and exfoliate your skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and excessive sebum.
Folliculitis is a relatively straightforward condition to treat and get rid of – any dermatologist will be able to help you. There are, however, some other conditions that look similar. A dermatologist will be able to help you to diagnose and distinguish between possible causes.
