Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
To lighten the burn mark, you could use a cream containing 2% kojic acid, arbutin, liquorice and niacinamide on that mark twice a day for 2-3 months.
Use a broad spectrum sunscreen every 4 hours even while indoors or in cloudy weather.
You could get glycolic acid peels done by a qualified dermatologist to augment the lightening process.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
