Brief Answer:
Celsus Bio-Intelligence OR Mederma cream
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I understand your concern.
I have gone through your uploaded images as well.
First and foremost, the risk of scarring is less in your case.
The burn seems to be a minor one approx a first-degree one.
Currently, it is in a state of post-burn depigmentation.
For this, I generally recommend topical/cream of Celsus Bio-Intelligence anti-scar cream to be applied 2-3 times a day.Mederma cream can be a suitable alternative if cost factor is a concern.Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe the same to you.
These ointments provide the best results.
In case if the pigmentation still persists even after 3 months, Superficial dermabrasion can be carried out with 100% success rate.
Thank you.
