Burns: Those were very serious burns and obviously you have been treated and followed by a wound clinic. Such burns take a few weeks to heal and I think you've done very well to heal without needing skin grafting. The pinkish discoloration is not unusual and may last month's. Silvadene is used to prevent infection and can be discontinued when skin is fully healed. Your wound clinic can guide you best,
