What should I do to make my areola incision scars heal faster? (Photo)

bettypoop
I am 6 months post BA through areola incision. I've also had nipple reduction. My scars are still red, bumpy and hard. My right nipple feels very tender to the touch. I am applying mederma gel every night and massage my scars with vitamin e oil in the morning. Is there anything else I can do for these scars to heal faster? Please help. Thank you!
