A member asked:
Can bio oil help bring back skin colour on burn where there is no colour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: In a thermal burn, there is the possibility that the pigment secreting cells call melanocytes were damaged from the burn. Once these cells have died, they do not regenerate on their own, thus leading to a lack of color in that area of the skin.
