My Approach Is To Leave Them Alone At First

Your scar will naturaly thicken and be hot and pink, then go to a purple color, and then finally begin to thin out.  This may take a year or even longer.  During that time, I will employ silicone strips (they must be worn all the time for as long as it looks bad, or at least as much as possible).

I will allow massage with shea or cocoa butter as topical tretaments.  Rarely will I laser or poke the scar with a needle as this may prolong the inflammatory process.  Seroids are occassionally used for scrs that show rapid growth, thickening, or in individuas who have keloid-prone skin.
