Waxing burn and spray tan - will it turn into a scar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: The degree of scarring from any skin trauma will be determined by how deep within the skin it goes. The deeper the more scarring that is needed to heal the injury. A scar will be more noticeable if it is a different color from the surrounding skin. Tanning will only darken a scar and typically these tanned scars don't fade. Therefor tanning is not recommended.
