This will work, I had a pretty deep cut with stitches, I followed these steps. Step1Consult your physician about how aggressive to be in managing any wound and ask about the likelihood of scarring. Step2Let your skin breathe. When damage to skin is new, do not aggravate it by putting anything such as bandages or ointment on the area. Step3Use an antibacterial soap to make sure the skin stays clean after the injury. Step4Avoid letting direct sunlight shine on the damaged area. Step5Apply a small amount of aloe vera to the area daily as the wound is healing. Step6Once the damaged area has healed and you are left with a scar, put vitamin E oil on the scarred area every night. Step7Apply a light moisturizer with sunscreen to the area every morning. Step8Talk to your dermatologist about using AHAs (alpha-hydroxyl acids). Step9Exfoliate the area very gently. This should only be done after the skin is completely healed. Step10For a thick, raised scar, try using silicone sheets. The silicone encourages hydration and softening of the scar. Wear sheet for a prolonged period of time to reduce the raised nature of the scar.

If it's bad, or somewhere really noticeable, like the face, there should be a department at the hospital which helps to cover disfiguring scars with make up (not really like the type you buy over the counter!).
Ring the hospital and ask the receptionist. She'll put you through to that department, and they will tell you whether they can help you or whether you would need referring by your GP.
Good luck.
