A member asked:
My left boob was accidently burned by hot boiling water and a hard skin was formed at that place after healing is there any way to soft the skin?

See your dr: You should see your doctor about that. There are topical medications available for burns and wound healing. But it depends on how severe the burn is and how close to the areola or nipple. Lastly, do not puncture or try to break the skin - you risk a serious infection and worsening scarring.
