Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand that you have large burn scars. Silicone gels are effective in scar remodelling. I would recommend you to apply a silicone gel or a silicone combined with vitamin C gel (Eg: Vaniza gel or Opexa gel ) twice a day and massage over the scar. During mornings apply a sunscreen over the scar.Get these prescribed by your primary care physician.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
