Suggest Treatment To Remove Burn Scars
Hi I had burnt myself 4 months back by pouring hot water on me accidentally. Now the wounds have healed but marked stains ( i am not writing scars as these are without any breach in the skin) are on my leg and chest area. Is there any treatment to change that discoloration to normal skin tone. Thanks in advance

Hell,welcome to HCM
burn scars are mainly hypertrophic and also associated with pigmentation.
For this scars you need to have skin grafting.
For pigment removal you can use oinment of hydroquinone and mometasone combination.
Also consult your dermatologist.
Hope this is helpful.
