what is the best way to minimize scarring?


Question:
I got a cut on my leg by a big piece of glass, I should have got stitches but didnt, so now I have a pretty ugly scar forming, the cut is 4 weeks old, how do i minimize scarring?

Answers:
I use vitamin E. I just poke a hole in the capsule and put it directly on the scar.
Too late. You needed to stitch it up to avoid the worst scarring, and you can't do that now. You can use cocoa butter to minimize the scar, but you can't get rid of it without having it surgically removed.
