Scar treatment: Burn scar can be treated with mild moisturizers, such as cocoa butter, or petroleum based lotion. You can also apply vitamin E oil on the scar. The area shouldn't have any sun exposure for at least a year. Scaring depends on your genetics. With the same injury, some people develops scar, while others don't. Probably should be seen burn specialist if you have any further questions.
