I was a boxer for 20 years. The highlights were winning the New York Golden Gloves in the heavyweight division and punching three times world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield in the face in a title fight-see photograph. I received stitches numerous times and have practically no scars. I noticed that after the stitches were taken out, scar tissue would form under the skin causes little lumps on each side of the cut. I used an electric hand held massage device to break up the scar tissue and puss would come out through the skin. Another thing that was pointed out to me recently by my friend Amelia Kennedy was that if I applied sunscreen to the cut area it would also help the newly forming skin from getting sun and since the newer skin is of a different quality, it would prevent highlighting the scar even more. Just a couple of things that may help someone with the terror of dealing with scars. Responses are welcome.
Thanks,

The above technique to deal with scars has not been scientifically tested or validated, it is my experience.
