Remove burn mark.
I have a burn mark on my left hand in the shape of 'S'. It was made by someone else around 3 years back with cigarette. It looks very odd and unpleasant. I have tried using skin creams for burns like mederma and some others also but it made it more dull . I want it to be removed in most efficient manner as soon as possible. Please advice me.

. Greetings.. You'll need skin lightening creams for a specified duration to reduce the marks if the mark is darker than the surrounding skin - to make it less conspicuous. Also you must use a sunscreen to prevent darkening of the mark. For -altered skin texture and atrophic scars, creams may not work n you may need procedures like microneedling, microneedling rf, fractional lasers, prp or a combination of these. Send in snaps of your scar on follow up chat if you need further assistance. Or see a qualified dermatologist near you and discuss the same with him. Hope this helps. Warm regards
