Scarring on the Muscle Belly


Suffered some dirty road rash flying over the handle bars of my bike this summer. Scrapped a bunch of skin of part of the quad, vastus medialis I guess it would be. There is now quite a good scar, and I’m back in the gym for the first time in quite a few months. Everything has shrunk, and it’s starting to pick back up a little.

Is there anything a guy should do to protect this area a little more than usual because of the scar tissue? There’s a picture attached, pretty shitty shadows, but it shows the scar fairy well. I can certainly feel it a lot of the time, just want to make sure I won’t have any trouble with the skin stretching in that area now. Thanks.
