Difficult Problem: For new scars, avoidance of daylight exposure is essential, so you should keep the areas covered and use sunscreen. Laser treatments (fractionated co2 and others) can be very effective at improving the appearance of these types of scars. Topical silicone gel (solid sheets or liquid ointment) used at least 8 hours per day for thre months can make a big difference, also.
