massage the scar often which should keep it from swelling out permenantly and yoiu could try udder cream, yes its for cows but it does wonders on stretch marks etc.

PS if going to put a tat on it wait till it heals or the ink will run. or so i have been told.

Tissue takes time to reorganize and settle down. You can occupy your time with various things...massage, creams, cold laser etc but in the end tissue needs time to reorganize. When sutured minimizing tissue tension, careful apposition of tissue edges and the type of suture used helps to minimize the width of new tissue. In the mean time avoid UV radiation as it will delay tissue organization.

Vitamin E, zink and when a model rocket blew up in my brothers face, I believe the doctor prescribed a cream containing silver nitrate or silver some thing. Cant remember as that was 30 years ago but he ended up with no scaring.

If it was a burn it would have likely been silver sulfadiazine...used on open not healed tissue.
