How can I help a wound heal with little scarring?

After several MOHS surgeries at age 78, on my face, nose, hand and leg for skin cancer I was told NOT to let the wound scan over. I kept Vaseline on them covered with bandaids until they were healed the result is very good. The last MOHS on my face was small enough they could stitch it and said put absolutely nothing on it. Best of luck in healing.

@queenie2030 I too have had MOHS. Just two up by my hairline, and I'm about to have one done that's actually on my upper forehead/scalp. They say "superior forehead" or something like that. I say "scalp" because it is all the way up in my actual hair! In any case mine was the same. Only Vaseline. I have an excellent surgeon. So far so good. For some reason my body didn't totally absorb the stitches on this last one so the scar is still a bit darkish pink. It's only been a couple of months or so though. I'm no longer putting the Vaseline on there because enough time has passed, but I'm fighting the urge to use use something else for scars. Really dreading the one coming up. I go on the 16th.
