I would try something like Mederma or a antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. If you want to stay natural though you could also try vitamin E (the liquid inside the pill) or tea tree oil (which is a natural pain killer and antiseptic)
Vitamin E is only recommended for older scars due to the risk of skin reactions, that's at least what I researched so far. I'm not a friend of mederma or other chemical medication stuff. I did not hear about tea tree oil yet, I wonder though if it's not going to dry out the skin and might do damage to the scar? I only used tea tree oil on pimples and cold sores so far, and it seemed pretty drying!

Actually tea tree oil promotes healing and helps build the scar tissue so that the new scar itch doesn't last. You do have to dilute though as undiluted tea tree oil can cause drying.
Thanks for that tip, I will try that for sure! Do you have any idea if it matters with what and in what concentration I dilute it? I have some unscented massage oil, or maybe olive oil might be a good base as well! Think something oil or lotion based might work better than just water! What do you think?

My dermatologist told me one time not to waste my money on Mederma, it does not work. I would try vitamin E. That seems like the best and safest route to me.

best not to use Tea Tree oil either. In in that manner. Once the wound is pretty much close, meaning something can be put on is, you can use this product that is real. I used it for my surgery, and all is well, no scar tissue build up. Also used it on a coworker who got his upper arm shot. Very very bad. As soon as it was closed and used this on it and was amazed at the results. As you can see, no tea tree oil 
The blend is synergysically balanced with essential oils that are specific to scar tissue and reducing scar tissue not promoting it.
It may work for you. These are professional herbalists and Aromatherapists that make the blends.

By the way a little goes a long way. I bought two of the Roll on. They are easier to use and carry with you. Not sure what is going on with the scar but a little does go a long way. It smells very nice too! Its safe and far more effective than Vitamin E alone. I used both rotating.
