Mole Removal Elliptical Excision After Care?

I just had the stitches removed from wound on my face. How can i care for it to minimise the scar. Can i use steri strips on the wound with vaseline for two weeks then use a scar gel and how would i clean it. At the moment i havnt done anything just kept the dressing on until the dermatogist removed it today and put a plaster on.
