Several: Avoiding shear or stress forces and wound tension is one of the best methods. Reinforcing the wound with paper tape is one of my favorite techniques but science supports the use of topical silastic sheeting in addition to avoidance of sun exposure with a high spf sunblock as well as avoidance of tobacco use is advised.Topicsl scar massage may help.
