My first piece of advice would be to let it heal. You won't be doing yourself a favour by rushing things. Would you do that to your horse?

To help the scar, I'd offer A&D ointment, most commonly found in the baby section of your local drugstore. I import large tubs of the stuff to Egypt whenever I have visitors because we use it on the frequent bangs and gashes that a bunch of enthusiastic young geldings can give each other while playing in the paddock. Really helps healing and it's cheap.

I have a fairly fresh, large, surgical scar on my inter thigh.Had a large , non-cancerous removed from that site. Looks like a gun shot wound because my stitches pulled out twice  So, it had to pack it and let it  heal open. It is still stiff and tender. Any ideas on how to help it soften up and/or heal nicely?
Also the seat edge that goes over the fender is about when the scar is. I was thinking of a saddle seat cover. Any other ideas about clothing to avoid irritating it. Fleece lined tights would help but I can't afford new ones right now.
Thanks for ideas.
