Coconut oil for preventing scars?

I did something very dumb last weekend. Long story short, I burned my face with the open oven door. No laughing, please.
Nothing major, just a brownish spot that's peeling off and the new skin underneath is only very slightly pinkish. It's more like a sunburn actually. I think it's not going to leave a scar, but I'm a little freaking out still. After all it's at the most conspicuous place possible.

So I've been treating it with Mederma, a good face moisturizer and extra virgin coconut oil.
Anyone using coconut oil on their face? How about using it to treat burns or other skin irritations? Has it been effective?

I tried coconut oil on my new tattoo while it was healing. Just made me greasy, but I think I also used too much. Scentless lotion works better for that.

For wounds, I stick with Neosporin. It lightened the scarring where I had my belly button pierced significantly, several months after I'd removed the piercing.

Coconut oil and shea butter are both supposed to help with minimizing scar formation and stretch marks, but I don't know how effective they really are. Coconut oil is great for dry skin, though. It certainly won't hurt.

But you're not going to get a scar unless you got a pretty bad burn, anyway.

The best thing to get is pure vitamin E oil from a health food store. I've just started using it in the past 5 days on a scar from a shoulder reconstruction that I had 3 weeks ago and it is healing and disappearing rapidly! I'm amazed with it. I bought it in a little roll on tube and just apply it directly a couple of times a day.

Ask at your local store and let me know if it works for you too :D

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.

Huntress, I'll have to definitely get the vit. E oil. There's someone else in my family that could possibly benefit from it as well.

Coconut oil feels too greasy, when I put it on eczma patches I just felt like it wasn't absorbing

My housemate is a blacksmith. From years of experimentation he says that the best thing for burns is lavender oil. And from what I've seen he's not wrong. He was put onto the stuff nearly 10 years ago after he got a nasty burn across his palm from some steel that had probably gotten to about 400 degrees C that he couldn't treat properly at the time it happened (no running water, only a quench bucket). Within weeks there was no sign, no mark, you couldn't tell he'd been burnt.
