Wait: Scars usually shrink with time. It would be prudent to follow your doctor's advice and wait for a year. Note that additional interference with the scar may make it worse. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
