Burn Mark from Hot Water

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

A week before, I accidently got in contact with Hot Water. I have sensitive skin so it turned blackish and after a day the skin from my cheek's area changed colour. I have consulted a doctor and she suggested to use "Silverex". I am using it for 10 days. Relief is there but the scar is not going. What should I do ?

Now stop using Silverfex ointment if wound is healed. Protect healed burnt area from direct sunlight. Use good sunscreen lotion with spf 30 or more. Generally such pigmentations fade with time within 3 to 4 months. Any scar or texture can be improved by Laser.

Health Tips

Avoid direct sunlight for 6 months.

Apply Silverex for few more days till skin totally heals. Then for the burn dark mark, 1. Kojiglo or Kojivit cream : Apply morn and night for 2 weeks or so. 2. Take sunray protection by wearing scarf or hat. 3. Consult a Dermatologist for further treatment.
