A member asked:
Burned a small patch of skin on my forehead 3 weeks ago and the scab fell off leaving pink skin. can i use collagenase santyl ointment on this fresh skin to help it fade quicker? or is this ointment not indicated for this purpose?

Let it be: Let the lesion heal on its own. Applying ointment may not help and may interfere with healing. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
