Again, there are many excellent products available; but in general, I reserve the use of these products if there are any problems developing or any concerns regarding the normal healing process. Most scars will settle down and fade with time.
A couple of basic principles are moisturizing and massaging the scars to keep them soft and avoidance of direct sun exposure to any scars. Sunblock should be applied to scars even if they have covered with clothing, as the SPF factor of most clothing is extremely low. For example, the SPF factor of a white cotton T-shirt is less than 10.
