How can prevent a scar from forming on my face?

Avoid injury/inflamm: Avoiding further injury or inflammation to a existing injury will minimize scarring. Furthermore keeping a wound clean moist and free from infection will help to minimize scarring and promote rapid epithelialization. Avoiding tobacco use and sun exposure may help while using silicone gel sheeting may also help to improve the appearance of scars.
