A member asked:
I have 2 day old 1st degree burns on my arms from cooking oil. what is the risk of permanent hyper pigmentation and how can i mitigate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1st degree burn: Very low risk depending on skin type. Keep clean with gentle soapy water. Keep most with moisturizer. And keep out of the sun until redness fades to avoid unnecessary risk of hyperpigmentation.
