Can any doc tell me what's the best scar treatment for a large 1st-2nd degree burn on the leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Burn scar: Improving a scar from a burn depends on a few things. When did the burn occur? how large is it? What does it look like. If you were recently burned, it will take up to a year for the scar to mature. In the meantime, stay out of the sun to avoid excessive pigmentation.
