Suggest Remedy For Palpable Scar At PIP Joint, Tender Scar Tissue With Stiffness In Finger After A Cut

I cut my index finger with a paring knife while cooking about 6 weeks ago. I now have a palpable scar at the PIP joint. The scar tissue is sometimes tender and I have occasional stiffness in that joint/finger now. Is there anything I can do to improve this situation?
