See a burn doctor: A burn that remains unhealed for more than 3 weeks probably needs a skin graft--and at least needs to be seen by a doctor. What you are seeing is probably granulation tissue--the body's attempt to heal the area--but at 4 months it needs a little assistance.

Need special rx: I use dermafill (xylium cellulose) dressing - your doctor can order this for you. Orally take methionine 500mg twice daily. If you have difficulty getting the above dressing have your doctor prescribe you Dilantin as infitab (50mg) crush this and apply this powder with zinc cream to your wound daily - wound will heal faster.

My four year old has always had sensitive skin. At times, she breaks out with a flat pink/red dry looking rash clustered mostly on her face, behind her knees, legs and in the folds of her arms on the front side of her elbows. Could it be pediatric eczema?
