text: what is the best way to minimize a new scar? home remedy, already have scar ointment.?   yeah, she has it, vitamin e in a liquid capsule is the best bet.  just break open the capsule and rub it into the scar nightly.  try not to overdo the sun while the scar is new, that can make it worse.  i have heard some people suggest tea tree oil as well.  it is a natural antiseptic and is reportedly good for the skin.
