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
