Keep Clean & Moist: And then avoid sun exposure and tobacco use. Silastic sheeting may also beneficial but time is usually your best friend. Eventually scar revision may be an option for exceptionally disfiguring scars.

Scar Removal: There is no way to completely remove a scar, even with surgery. However, there are things that can make them look better. Keeping them moist with silicone based scar gels or sheets and protecting them from sun exposure with clothing or frequent application of sun screen. Massaging the scar with your fingers may also soften them up faster.
