Scarring is a natural part of how your body heals. Scars can occur after surgery or when you have a cut or any other wound on your skin.

Your wound may appear red, swollen, or numb after your procedure. For the first few weeks after your operation, you should follow the instructions given to you by your healthcare provider on how to care for the site of your operation. After a few weeks, your scar still may feel tight, bumpy or uneven. Over time, it will soften, become smoother, and appear less red. It will continue to heal for couple of months following your surgery but here are certain steps you can take that will make the healing process easier. Let’s dive deeper and discover the new possibilities.

Protect the scar from the sun

It can slow down the healing process if you expose your scar to sunlight and make the scar more visible. Therefore, it’s crucial to protect your scar from the sun whenever you’re outdoors or if it may be exposed to sunlight.

Some ways to protect your scar include:

Apply sunscreen, preferably a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Wear a hat with a broad brim to block out the sun.
Wear clothes that are designed to protect from the sun.

 

Massage your scar

Massaging your scar can help make it less hard. To do this, use your fingers to gently massage your scar for 1 to 2 minutes. You can do this 1 to 3 times per day.
