How to Care for Your Scars in the Summer

"Sun exposure will help camouflage scars, but it's best to be avoided because if you have sun exposure to incisions within the first year, it can increase the amount of pigment that's retained within the scar, so while it may temporarily seem like it's camouflaging the scars, over the long term, it's best to avoid."
