How to reduce appearance of shin scar? (photo)

Tabspeeps
I received a deep graze to my shin after slipping from a box. The incident occurred 4 months ago however a large scar persists and highly visible. Is there anything I can do to help the reddish/purple scar lighten in colour so it's not so obvious?
