<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Hey Reddit, I've been biking regularly for over a decade, and have never before had any issues.  Today, while biking, another biker was turning a corner at high speeds coming toward me on my side of the bike bath.  I slowed my bike down until I was close to being stopped, and he proceeded to barrel into me.  

I believe it is his handle bars that I hit my forehead on, and this succeeded in giving me a gash of about an inch and a half on my forehead.  Apparently head wounds bleed a SHIT-TON (TIL).   I went to the student health center and got stitched up, and I'm now poorly bandaged and chilling back at home.

My question:  How can I best minimize scarring, and how bad should I expect the scarring to be?
<bot>: Have an open wound that has been stitched on my forehead, and I wish to minimize my chances of looking like I've been marked by Lord Voldemort.  All advice is appreciated!
