There is no way to make absolutely sure it doesn't leave a scar, in fact some people are genetically predisposed to scarring and form keloids, and any attempt to fix these scars leads to even larger keloids. Having said this there is a couple things to minimize the chance of scarring after the scab is close to falling off, which include applying vitamin E, coco butter, sandlewood paste, aloe vera, honey, Syprex or other OTC gel.

Eh? what are you talking about? When a bug bites you, you don't get a scar. All you get is a red bump and it eventually goes away. A scar is when you cut or scrap your skin and its deep. While it is healing scar tissue forms instead of regular skin. There isn't much you can do but wait till it fades or possible use some skin medicine that reduces them. One thing to always remember. If you have a fresh scar (a REAL scar, NOT a bug bite) is to keep it out of the sun. If you have it in the sun for to long, to soon after it forms it will not fade as well and will be really dark. If you keep it away from the sun it might fade to the point where you can barely if at all see it.

Shea butter has soothing, moisturizing and protecting effects. Due to the presence of a sizeable quantity of unsaponifiable fats, its content in vitamins and other active elements, shea butter adds other more precise activities to these general properties. It displays a protecting role against UV rays because of its content in cinnamic acid and can thus be incorporated in solar products. The natural latex contained in shea butter would moreover prevent certain sun allergies. Shea butter also helps cell regeneration and capillary circulation. This favours the healing of small wounds, skin cracks and crevices, and skin ulcers. In the cosmetic field, this property is an asset against skin aging. It has restructuring effects on the epidermis, also on dry and fragile hair. Dry skin, dermatitis, dermatoses, eczema, sun burn, and burns are all helped by natural shea butter.
It has an anti-elastase characteristic which makes it a good active ingredient against stretch marks.
Shea butter can also be used to treat rheumatism and aching muscles, and to ease colds because it decongests nasal mucous tissues. It is very well tolerated by the skin for it does not normally trigger any allergic reaction and can even be used on very sensitive skin areas such as mucous tissues and around the eyes.
Shea butter is therefore an outstanding recipe for cosmetic and pharmaceutical purposes, even incorporated in high proportions. It is easy to work into all kinds of emulsions and makes a very good excipient (carrier) as it prevents allergenic reactions without altering the active principles.

you can definitly ask a doctor, they'll tell you the best thing to do, but at cvs or another drugstore they have a few different creams and stuff to help that..they're a little expensive but i'm sure it's worth it if the scar is on your face..good luck
