Well you could try cocoa butter and creams for the scar so it's not as prominent, but the scar will still be there, it may get lighter though. I've heard good things about mederma, or nederma, but I haven't had any experience with it personally. I have one as well, near my hairline, guess my mom was right when she said not to scratch haha.

Maderma works fairly well on raised or discolored scars such as chicken pox scars. But it can be a little messy and smelly. Dermatologists generally recommend some type of silicone scar sheet for evening out discolored or raised scars. Look for ScarAway. You should be able to find it on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/ScarAway-Silicone-Sheets-Full-Supply/dp/B001AJ4L1E)or at Walgreens. Good luck.
