Wound care: In short this means good wound care which means keeping the area clean and moist during the healing period. Avoidance of inflammation and sun exposure is also key. Topicsl silicone gels may also help.

Scars are permanent: You can help them be as minimally-visible as possible, but if they are below the mid-dermis, they are permanent, and no surgeon or technique presently in existence can completely remove or eliminate them. Lasers, scar pads, and topical agents can help them mature better, and ultraviolet avoidance is essential to prevent (reduce) hyperpigmentation (turning permanently brown)! stop scratching!
