Hi there 👋
I’ve seen your image and read your concern — cracker burns on the face are quite common around this time, and the good news is that most heal completely without permanent scarring if managed correctly in the early phase.
Let’s break this down so you know exactly what to do 👇
1. First — focus on healing the burn properly
If the wound is still fresh, red, or crusted, the priority is to promote healing and prevent infection.
Use this regimen:
Morning & Night: Apply Silver Sulfadiazine 1% cream thinly on the burnt area — this prevents infection and promotes smooth healing.
Clean gently with mild saline or clean water before reapplying.
Avoid Dettol / Spirit / Toothpaste / Turmeric — these damage the healing skin.
If there’s pain, you can take Paracetamol 650 mg as needed.
Once the area has healed and only a dark mark or scar remains, we shift focus to scar lightening and skin regeneration.
2. Second — for reducing scar or pigmentation (after healing)
After the scab has completely fallen off:
Morning: Apply Dermadew Aloe Cream or Cicatrix Cream — hydrates and improves scar texture.
Night: Apply Mederma Advanced Scar Gel or Contractubex Gel — massage gently for 3–5 minutes.
Sun protection is crucial: Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every 3 hours when outdoors. UV rays can permanently darken post-burn marks.
Visible improvement usually starts after 3–4 weeks of consistent use, and scars can fade significantly over 2–3 months.
3. If scar is deep or raised:
If the scar feels thick, raised, or dark brown even after a month — don’t waste time on OTC creams.
You may need dermatology-level treatments like:
Silicone gel sheets
Topical retinoid or mild steroid combination (under supervision)
Laser resurfacing / PRP / chemical peel — if scar persists after 6–8 weeks.
These work very well on facial burns when started early — but only after the wound is fully healed.
Important:
Do not use harsh creams or “skin peeling” products at this stage — they can make the scar worse. Focus on hydration + gentle repair first.
Summary:
Keep the wound infection-free (Silver Sulfadiazine).
After healing, start scar creams (Mederma or Contractubex).
Use sunscreen daily — the single most important thing for fading scars.
Follow up after 2–3 weeks to adjust treatment if it’s not improving.
If you’d like, I can personally review your photo in detail and suggest an exact combination of creams and regimen based on your skin type and healing stage (and also tell you if laser or medical treatment would help).
Message me privately on WhatsApp at nine three two six zero two zero five three six — I’ll review your photo properly and guide you step by step so the mark fades completely without wasting money on random creams.
