Burns/Scars: The scar from a burn will likely never completely go away. There are some natural methods that some claim can help reduce scar size and change its appearance. Oral Vitamin E, Aloe Vera Gel, honey, various oils (hazelnut, olive) all have been suggested as possible remedies. If you are really concerned about the appearance consider consulting with plastic surgeon or dermatologist for more info.

Time & protecting...: the burned area from infection & further injury will allow the burn to heal, hopefully without scarring. Clean it gently, apply an antibiotic and fresh bandage twice a day until it heals. You might have some skin discoloration for a while but, if you care for it correctly, you should be fine. Dr. Anne
