Accepted Answer

Improve not remove: It is not possible to remove a full thickness burn unless you replace it with another. However there may be a variety of options to improve the appearance depending on the character of the scar: hyperpigmentation, raised, red, depressed, etc, discuss options with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Question 2

what do i do to remove a burn scar/mark from skin?

Accepted Answer

Scars don't heal...: They are the result of healing and are permanent. They do, however, mature, i.e. With time. There are some treatments and procedures that may hasten their maturation and make their appearance less objectionable. Your regional burn treatment center would be a good place to start.

Question 3

what is the best product to heal a minor burn scar? my burn is still healing and the skin has not came back yet.

Accepted Answer

Burn Wound: Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) cream is  used with other treatments to help prevent and treat wound infections in patients with burns. Silver sulfadiazine works by stopping the growth of bacteria that may infect an open wound. This helps to decrease the risk of the bacteria spreading to surrounding skin, or to the blood where it can cause a serious blood infection (sepsis).

Question 4

are skin lightening creams safe to use on burn scars? i have a scar on my arm from an oven burn. can i use a skin lightening cream on it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can.: Assuming the scar is well-healed, the pigmentation is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Skin lightening creams use hydroquinone or other components that can reduce the melanocyte metabolism, making them lighter. Avoiding ultraviolet stimulation is equally important!

Question 5

i have a really bad chemical burn scar it has healed but i have this yellowish mark inside my skin due to erythema the scar is still present what are some alternative or natural remedies i can use to get rid of the scar?

Accepted Answer

Burn scar: There are none that have been properly tested. Check family history of scaring problems and discuss with your team.

Question 6

what do i do to remove burn scars?

Accepted Answer

Scars are permanent.: They are the result of healing and are permanent. They do, however, mature, i.e. With time. There are some treatments and procedures that may hasten their maturation and make their appearance less objectionable. Your regional burn treatment center would be a good place to start.

Question 7

how to permently remove a burn scar?

Accepted Answer

It will improve: Scars are permanent but almost all fade with time. Protect the scars from sunlight while there is any pink left in them; they will burn easily and, if tanned, may be tanned permanently. I would not expect the scar to assume its final form for 12-18 months. The younger you are, the longer it will take. Do not rush into scar revision. See a surgeon certified by the am. Bd. Of plas. Surg. If question

Question 8

what's the best thing to use to try and remove a 3rd degree burn scar. it's been there for about 12 years and everything i try does not work.

Accepted Answer

Exercise in futility: It depends on where the scar is. Sometimes surgical revision helps. Sometimes cortisone injection helps.

For burns, pressure therapy with silicone often helps. Once there is a scar there is always a scar. The goal is to make it less obvious.

Question 9

my wife has a cooking oil burn scar on her thigh which has been there for quite a long time. can this be removed? what will it entail.

Accepted Answer

Scar Removal: Please consult with a Plastic Surgeon who will evaluate the scar and tell you options for treatment. www.plasticsurgery.org

Question 10

i have a 3rd degree burn scar on leg, and it randomly itches like crazy how do i stop that? that and is there a way i can remove it, it looks gross?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: A prescription steroid cream is likely to help. Perhaps the appearance so disagreeable to you is caused by scratching, and may look better when it is treated.
