See a doctor if
Seek immediate medical attention if a scar becomes increasingly painful, swollen, or red, as this may be a sign of infection Contact your healthcare provider if a scar reopens and begins to bleed or ooze pus Consult a doctor if a scar is causing significant discomfort, mobility issues, or cosmetic concerns
Everyday tips
Gently massage the scar with moisturizer to help soften and flatten it Protect the scar from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen or covering it up Avoid picking or scratching at the scar, as this can worsen its appearance Consider using over-the-counter scar treatments, such as silicone gels or sheets, to help improve the scar's appearance
