You will: Require at least 6 if not 12 months before healing is complete and you have the final result. There is no "quick cure". If you are otherwise healthy be patient.

Need more info: What degree os a burn did you have. If just a first or saecond degree burn and it appears healed albeit with a white discoloration (that may be normal) an otc cream can be applied like medderma which will speed healing. If not available consult with your pharmacist for a similar product.

Depth of burn wound: The depth of burn wound and/or duration of time to heal are important factors in predicting prognosis as well the treatment of area post healing of wound. Light skinned people may have develop dark areas whereas dark skinned people may develop light areas. If managed well, superficial and mid dermal burn wounds tend not to leave any stigmata behind in the long run i.e. 6-9 months or longer.
