It depends on what you were vaccinated against, when and what the scar looks like now. I had my TB vaccination when I was about 23 (most children in the UK have this in school when they're about 11) and it looked like a bug bite for years and years. Now there's no scarring at all but people who had the same in school still have large white scars. Like any permanent scarring, it will fade over time but if it bothers you alot you could try a course of laser treatment, I had that on a large scar on my shoulder, it was painful but really worked to reduce the redness and size. Your doctor can advise you better on procedures for scar improvment.

Other than surgery, it's too late.
If you have a recent wound, put Vitamin E oil on the scab twice a day until it heals. No scar.
Then use cocoa butter to get the color back.

you don't. Show it as a sign of never getting smallpox, and with pride that the disease has been erradicated.
