A member asked:

I burnt my leg from boiling hot water 8 months ago . it has left my leg discoloured. i wanted to know how much time does it take for it to fade away ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

At least a year. : Don't judge the phone with parents of the score or burn until at least a year after it occurs. Will continue to fade even after that however at a slower pace. One thing that can be done sites wait and see is to keep out of the sun and if not possible to use high-powered sunscreen
