A member asked:

Chemical burn from tea tree oil on face. please help. burn is about 6 weeks old still peeling and dark in color?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal: Normal healing of an injury or burn can take up to six months with scar changing lasting even longer. If it is inflamed or bleeding or getting larger have a doctor look at it.
