Since the injury is near your eye, we must use gentle, safe ingredients. Once the wound is fully closed with no active scabbing, the most effective option is silicone scar gel, applied twice daily. It hydrates the tissue and helps flatten and fade the scar. In the early stages, keeping the area moist with plain petroleum jelly also promotes healthy healing. Crucially, protect the healing skin from the sun using a mineral sunscreen containing zinc oxide, as UV rays can permanently darken scars. Gentle massage of the area once fully healed can also help. Be patient, as scars naturally improve and fade significantly over several months.
