Get a scar consult: If you have a scar, then it is best to have a consultation with a derm or plastic surgeon earlier than later. The earlier you get treatment, the better the results. Often a laser treatment early on will help a lot. Waiting will only make the treatments less effective.

Keep Clean & moist: Gently cleansing two to three times a day with a petrolatum based ointment should be adequate to allow healing with minimal scarring.
