Maybe: With time things should fade away. You don't need silvadene (silver sulfadiazine). Obtain Mederma and apply several times per day.

Scar Healing: A scar forms when there is healing of an injury to the tissues. Remember that with almost all wounds, healing continues for months and months as we change the stress on the tissues. A scar forms as a result and may have many different appearances and colors. Any dark coloration may fade over time but the tissues never are the same and so some scarring will always be there.
