How to Prevent Scars on the Skin
When your skin heals after a scrape, burn, or cut, a scar can be left behind. Follow these tips to help prevent scarring after an injury:
• Treat any cuts or other wounds right away.
• Do not scratch or pick the scab.
• Keep the wound moist with antibiotic ointment while it heals.
• Try covering your cut with silicone gel or healing pads that can speed up recovery.
• If the scar isn’t fading, ask your dermatologist about creams that promote fading.
