Rest and hot compress will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The development of horizontal tears after walking are suggestive of stress causing the stretching of the scar. To accelerate the healing it is best to give rest to the area and avoid any undue stress. Doing a hot compress will help in increasing the local blood circulation and healing.
You also need to have a healthy nutritious diet and a multivitamin supplement regularly in order to have an early wound healing.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
