Heal first.: Once the skin is intact (no oozing or open sore), a silicone scar sheet can be used over it to help improve the cosmetic appearance. Products like Mederma can help, but you must be dilligent about massage and rubbing it in extremely well, as the rubbing is just as important if not moreso than the product itself. A plastic surgeon can also help with scars more than 6 months old. Good luck!
