To avoid blade cut marks, a new wound should be kept clean and properly covered to minimize scars. When healed, apply scar treatment cream or silicon gel sheets regularly to reduce the appearance of scars. Do not expose the scar to sunlight because the UV rays darken it. For more severe or prominent scars it is necessary to refer them to the dermatologist for professional treatments such as laser therapy and microdermabrasion. For the situations with deep scarring, sometimes a cosmetic revisional surgery might be an option but it is always best to seek advice from a dermatologist on individual basis.
