How do I get rid of a scar on my cheek?

A few months ago I took a tumble and fell flat on my face. B"H no terrible damage - my glasses were bent out of shape, my lip blew up, and I scraped my cheek. I was sure the story was over there, but now, over three months later, I still have a scar on my cheek from the fall. What's worse - as the weather is getting sunnier, it's actually getting darker! I've been putting vitamin E on it, but don't see any major change.
Anyone have any special tricks or creams or miracle I can use? It's really bothering me!

How many iu E oil is the capsule? You need at least the 10,000 strength twice a day.
Maybe Arnica gel will help too.

Please use sunblock! It's more important than scar cream. Make sure your sunblock protects you from UVA
(causes skin damage) and UVB (causes skin cancer) rays.

Vitamin E oil capsules are actually recommended because it works better when fresh.

Rubbing the skin gently with any oil will encourage it to repair itself. So will exfoliating and microdermabrasion.
