Oil burn marks
Yesterday some oil spilt on my mom's face. I have applied silverex cream as prescribed by local physician but today the marks turned dark brown. There are no boils or blisters but just the place got dark brown. Someone told me to apply Fucibet cream but it contains steroids which is harmful for face. My concern is what to use to fade out the dark marks on face?

Hello,
Post burn pigmentation will take time to heal and there are medications available for lightening marks. For fresh burns, silverex is perfect. A proper hydration and sun protection is key for the same.
