Mederma or Scarfade gel for forehead scar
Either topical will help to improve the appearance of a scar. No head to head studies have been performed that show one working better than the other.
Be sure to use a sunscreen daily to keep the area from pigmenting.
If the scar remains very prominent at about a year, you may want to consult with a facial plastic surgeon to reorient the scar so that it is less visible.
