What to do to cure light scarring?

Reduce not remove : You can try maderma, silicone sheets, scarzone and remember to prevent the scar from getting any worse by avoiding direct sunlight, smoking etc... You may be able to lessen the appearance, however, probably not remove the scar. Sometimes a scar revision can remove an old large scar and leave a more tolerable smaller one.

Improvement of scars: Scars can be secondary to accidents, burns or surgery. These behave differently and if the wounds get infected then there is another variable that will impact scarring. Scars mainly improve with time but addiing scar care creams, sunblock use, silicone gel sheets, compression, laser or light therapy and sometimes scar revision are modalities that can help make things better.
