I have used the liquid inside a Vitamin E softgel to heal up cuts, burns, etc on my skin, simply massage the oil into the scar. It is worth the try .

Your photo is kind of blurry, I couldn't tell if your scar is just pigmented or it's both pigmented and prominent/bumpy on your skin. I have tried Mederma scar gel(available in any drugstore and grocery store, the item often has a $5 off coupon attach to it or you can find the coupon on some coupon apps), it's really effective to flatten scar(my scar is over 1 year old), but it doesn't help with reducing pigmentation. You can use any brightening product from The Ordinary line for pigmentation.

@Anonymous 2nd Skin burn pads. It's a gel like pad. Last time I looked a while ago, Walgreens store brand had the actual 2nd skin packs inside their box.

It may be a long shot, but look for products that contain Tepezcohuite, a dark bluish-purple powder that comes from the bark of a tree that grows in Mexico. I know Salma Hayek was developing a product line with it not too long ago. I used it for my 3rd degree burn on my foot from flaming oil that was spilled on it in the late 90's while living in Mexico; it is well known in Mexico for healing and regenerating burnt skin, as well as helping scars. Best stuff I ever used for a burn. It is becoming more accessible on the internet. Not likely to find it in store. Best to find it in the form of a salve, or you can make one from the raw powder.

@Anonymous Have you been seen by a burn center? Of course we have to recommend being seen by a medical professional and getting appropriate care. When your burn is fresh keeping it clean is the most important part. Use a washcloth and mild soap (our burn center uses baby soap) and then cover it with bacitracin in between washings. The white colors in the one at the top indicate deeper burns. Burns change over time (sometimes they take 3-5 days to show how deep they really are), and if that one keeps getting whiter and not progressing in healing you really need to be seen, same if the other one opens up and has a lot of white in it.

Once you are on the mend, order some Glucan pro 3000 lotion, it's available on amazon. It is expensive, about $80 for a small jar but a little goes a long way and it should last you a while if you don't have other burn areas. The main ingredient is beta glucan, which helps rebuild collagen. Use glucan lotion on the closed and scarred/healed areas. I'm sorry for your experience getting burned, I worked in a burn center and know the damages that scarring can cause for burn survivors. If down the road your scars aren't healing to your liking, there are some laser options as well.

Thanks for the information it’s very useful....Yes I went to doctor and they asked me to apply polysporine until it dries or heals and to clean with water . How many days does this take to heal? I am not sure about white skin should I see doctor again?

@Anonymous If the white area isn't healing well or the white spreads to the whole area, I'd follow up. I'm really glad you went though! That I would say 2ish weeks if it doesn't spread deeper. It could take longer if you smoke, have diabetes etc too so keep that in mind also. The areas that have the white might show scar a little more than the others but the pink areas will scar and then usually heal back to your normal skin tone within 6 months to a year. Someone else recommended the vitamin E oil which is good once it's closed up too.

Oh @Anonymous Bless you 💓 sending you gigantic hugs

If you are in the US ask your doctor for a prescription for Biafine Emulsion Cream. It’s expensive here like $80 for a small tube but Don’t settle for the generic it’s not the same.
It is used in burn wards it is layered on the skin to coat the skin surface (dont rub it in just pat it on) The Barrier of the Biafine emulsion cream creates a perfect environment for the skin cells to regenerate and heal quickly. It also smells fantastic.
it is a fast healing miracle cream. It’s not for open wounds or rashes.

its made in France and sold there over the counter without a prescription in much larger tubes for a quarter of the price as here.

@PaletteAddict99 when I worked at a French bakery they had this on hand for oven burns. The owner used to pick up a ton of them from France and bring them over and keep them in the fridge.

@Anonymous I don't really have a recommendation for something to help it heal but something I haven't seen mentioned is staying away from the sun. I'm not sure if putting sunscreen on it is a good idea but try avoiding the sun as much as possible to avoid darkening it, since it's brand new skin and it's more easily damaged.

@makeitup305 Yes! It is the best cream. It will heal things sometimes overnight. I even use it on my cuticles when they get out of control and also if I get irritated from glycholic on my face. I don’t understand why it needs a prescription here. It’s pretty basic ingredients.
