as long as you have skinny arms

As said upthread, keep it covered. IME the skin will be sensitive for a good while yet and last summer is no time at all. Your arms are very exposed on a bike.

On a side note depending on how lumpy your scar is and if it bothers you.
You can try rubbing really well in hand cream 3 to 4 times a day or more if you can remember.
Helps break down the scar tissue. Worked a treat on mine.

I have scars from broken bones,hernia ops and cancer and radiotherapy treatment. I've never covered them from natural sunlight. To me sunlight,especially strong summer sun is a natural healer.

I've got an eight year old 23" surgical scar on the inside of my left leg that runs from my ankle to my groin. I don't think it's ever had any sunscreen despite being having visited a fair few hot destinations. Probably a bit naughty but it's been no problem at all. It itched like hell when it was brand new though.

I have scars too , 2 on joints , also 1 on forearm arm and 1 on collarbone (plated ) find the one that gives me most jip is collarbone. The rest I just usejohnsons baby oil on but don't expose to sun . Few years now , but the plate is the hardest to keep supple and free
