Many things.: Scars evolve from angry red, to raised, to flat and hypo-pigmented over about a year for most patients--depending on their heritage and the surgery performed. Use otc Mederma gel 4x/day starting after you are fully healed; get silicone gels or bandages to put on the scar; consider certain laser treatments and even injections of 5-fu or steroids if you get keloids. Just depends...See your/a doc!
