article: Talk to your doctor about removing the external stitches before they leave track marks, which are the small bumps that appear on either side of the incision. If possible, have your doctor remove the external stitches after one week to prevent any permanent scarring. For a more serious professional option, consider using targeted laser treatment to remove the stitch marks or stitch scarring. Using laser treatment on fresh scars, within six to eight weeks of the injury, can lead to a more effective treatment and removal of the scar. There are two types of laser treatments: Pulsed dye lasers: This is a non-ablative laser treatment that uses an intense, targeted burst of light. The heat is then absorbed by the blood vessels in your skin and can help to improve the texture and thickness of scars. It can also reduce any redness around the scar. Fractional ablative lasers: This treatment pokes small holes into the scar. This stimulates collagen production and can remodel the scar to appear less noticeable. This type of laser treatment is recommended for shallow scars. Most laser treatments will require multiple treatment sessions and can cost between $300 to $600 per a session. If you experience any of these symptoms, as well as fever and increased pain around the stitch marks, you should go see your doctor. The stitch marks may be infected or you may have had an allergic reaction to the antibacterial cream. Your doctor will need to examine and treat the stitch marks to prevent further infection or complications.

Write an article based on this "Ask the person on a date. Be specific with an idea for a date, if possible. Exchange contact information. Call the person within a day or two of getting their number. Accept rejection kindly."
article: Tell the person why you find them attractive and that you would like to get to know them better. Ask if they would be interested in spending more time with you on a date. For example, you could say, "I'm really enjoying this conversation with you. You know so much about kayaking, and you are very beautiful, too. I would love to see you again and get to know you better. Would you like to go out on a date with me?" If you can't think of a date idea on the spot, tell them that you will call them to set up the specifics for your date. If you've gotten to know the person through conversation, you might have an idea already of what would make a good date. For example, if you think they'll like a particular band that is playing on Friday night, ask if they'd like to go to the concert with you by saying, "Have you seen the Essentials play yet? They're doing a show Friday night at Joy Theater. Would you like to go with me?" If the person agrees to go out on a date with you, make sure you get their contact information. Ask for their phone number so you can contact them. Be direct by simply asking, "Can I get your phone number?" If you sense that they would prefer to be in control on contacting you, offer to give them your number by saying, "Here's my phone number. Call me this week so we can set something up for the weekend." Calling them promptly shows that you are interested in them and that you take them seriously. If you haven't already set a specific time and place for your date, have a specific idea in mind to invite them to when you call. Being indecisive can be a turn-off for some people and if you call without a specific idea in mind, it may seem like you don't respect them enough to plan ahead. Even if all their body language indicates they are attracted to you, there is still a possibility the person could turn you down for a date. Tell them that you really enjoyed talking to them and that you wish them the best before parting ways with them. There are many different reasons that a person might turn you down for a date. They may be attracted to you, but have something going on in their life that makes it difficult for them to date, such as if they have a demanding job, like modeling, acting, or nursing, or if they have to travel a lot. They may also have just gotten out of a serious relationship and may not be ready to date again. Or maybe they just don't find you as attractive as you thought they did. Rejection does not mean that you did anything wrong; it's just not the right fit with this person at this moment in time. Appreciate that it can be difficult to be honest with someone when they are asking you out on a date. If this person tells you upfront that they do not want to date you, they are being more courageous than giving you their phone number and then never answering your calls.

article:
If you are still in communication with the long-lost sibling, you should ask them about why they refused to meet with you. Getting a full picture of why they refused to meet with you will help you emotionally process things and decide what to do next. It is important that you address any extenuating circumstances that might prevent them from wanting to meet with you. Although a phone call would be ideal for this conversation, you should utilize whatever mode of communication feels the most comfortable. You might ask them things like "Why won't you meet with me?" or "What is getting in the way of us meeting in person?" It is important that you give the sibling the distance that they ask for. Continuing to contact your long-lost sibling after they have refused to meet you will likely only strengthen their desire to avoid you. If your sibling asks you to back off, you should honor their request and give them some space. If you are interested in leaving open the option of reconnecting in the future, you might offer your sibling your continued emotional support. Although your sibling has expressed their desire not to meet with you, let them know that you are still there for them. Express to them that, if they need anything or want to reconnect in the future, that you would be available. You might say something like "I love you and I'll be here if you need me" or "If you ever want to talk, you can call me." However, try to set healthy boundaries. For example, avoid financially supporting a long-lost sibling who refuses to meet with you in person. You do not want to enter into a situation where someone is exploiting you for your resources. If your long-lost sibling shows no indication of wanting you in their life, you should know when to walk away. It can be extremely difficult to end a relationship, particularly with a family member. However, distancing yourself from a painful relationship, in the end, may help you feel better. If your long-lost sibling absolutely refuses to have a relationship with you, it is important that you know when to step back. You might say something like "I can't handle your rejection anymore" or "It hurts me too much to not be close to you."
