first - the wound has to heal completely. then, go to a medical supply and buy a compression bandage. it looks like a piece of rubber. you can cut it to size and begin wearing it everyday, starting with a few hours each day until you work up to all the time. take it off daily and wash it and reapply. it will eventually wear down, then cut off another piece and start all over. scars are permanent, but this will reduce the scar better than just about anything, especially if it's a keloid scar that's puffy.

Try applying Vitamin E oil to the scar daily and take Vitamin E 400 iu 1-2 times a day. May help; maybe not, but it is worth a try. If it doesn't you may have to consult a cosmetic surgeon.
