Well... I'm a dumbass and took a ropeline to the neck a week ago.
Wonder if anyone has any suggestions for treating / preventing scaring when you have a beautiful 5 inch long rope burn on the neck.

Be like Digital death and duck that rope next time.
The best way to prevent scaring is to wear a scarf until it heals.
(True story--I did an carotid artery operation on a minor member of the defense team of a certain ex football player accused of slashing his wife's throat. This was well after the trial of said football player. The patient complained about the scar--it seems he was afraid people would see it and draw the wrong conclusion as to who slashed his throat and why.)
If you're concerned about scarring--unless it's full thickness it shouldn't scar. If it's full thickness using antibiotic ointment a couple times a day with a gauze dressing over it will help. I'm guessing it's not full thickness. Did it bleed? Post a pic if you like.
So basically this should be fine, just wear collared shirts when not skiing and maybe a buff when skiing.

Go to Walgreens and get some silicone scar gel. I had a cut on my forehead a few years back that I was very concerned would scar. Used that. Happy with it.
P.S.- I don't think that's going to scar. $20 or whatever is cheap piece of mind that you did all you could.
when people ask, just way you were in the process of killing yourself with a power saw when you miraculously found the will to survive right when the teeth started tearing flesh. fortunately, you had a failsafe -- the power cord wrapped around your ankle.
or an unwillingness to use the right tool for autoeroticasphyxiation.
or a super aggressive partner who likes bondage, slave roll playing and pain but forgot your safe word until you best the shit out of him. trump will probably deport him anyway.
That will not scar. No treatment needed.
Sweet, just being cautious cause it would fucking suck. It's almost healed already tbh
You dodged a bullet on this one. Keep on keeping on straightline.

"I picked that one up ducking the rope at Buttermilk." -- Digital Debris

Dude, get a tattoo of ropeburn when it starts to heal up a bit more.
Go swim off the shores of Iceland.
Old sailors say the salty cold water of the North Atlantic was the fastest rope burn cure ever.
To prevent scaring you should piss on it. Guaranteed not to scar. What's the downside?
I've had rope burn before and it didn't scar but my skin was shiny in that spot for like a year
also while it heals you could consider wearing multiple scarves like johnny depp
