Do purple scars from burns ever go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gradually fade: Discoloration of scars whether purple, pink or red usually represent immature scars. As they mature coloration tends to normalize although they may not ever reach the color of surrounding skin or might not fade at all.
