A member asked:
Will a deep 2nd degree burn from grease fade? it is 3 months old. still very red. it is on my hand and arm. anything to help it fade?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but slowly: Burns cared for appropriately will heal and the wound will fade. It is not uncommon to have darker or lighter skin in the burned area, but this too will get better with time. Use a thick cream or greasy emollient to keep the new skin soft and flexible.
