Will burn scars that deep 2nd degree fade in color over time? the burn is 3 month old scar. when do they stop fading?

Slowly: Hi! Yes, burn scars fade slowly over many years. To help, use lots of sunscreen for the area, and some suggest using Mederma and moisturizers mixed together. Time is the biggest factor!
