How to cure old scars resulted from old burns at childhood
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately: Unfortunately for you that you had such an accident. Scars are the body's way of healing and protecting itself from violations on our protective barriers. It's difficult to treat scars to lessen their appearance w/o making them worse. I advise talking this over with a physician familiar with burn management. They may be able to trial some different techniques or medications to help"soften" scars.
