are some areas harder to heal than others. and scarring more likely.
i burnt myself somewhere. both accidently. and delibrately. but its healing so slow. and still looks bad. im worried its going to leave an obvious scar. that if a doctor saw. would questioned. its in an uncommon spot. it looks like i took a cigarette lighter or something. and pressed it. but i didnt. it burnt down abit. is there anyway to prevent scarring. or reduce it.

(((suzzie))) ...

Get a bar or tube of solid cocoa butter from your local pharmacist and apply generously several times a day.

I know it smells good enough to eat, but it isn't, so don't bite into it ... !!! ...

Trust me on that one ... !!!

Pfrog!
Thanks for this!

I thought it was vitamine E oil or cream that works on scars....but don't know about burn's......those are a lot different that cut skin that heals back together again....which is probably why scars from burns are a lot more difficult to go away.

I have a burn scar on my arm that is actually 3 different burns in the same spot. It's been since before last April and it's still very prominent
Thanks for this!

i think it was worst than i thought. its been 2 weeks. and the center is still exposed. and bleeds abit. but i think it will heal eventually. would an ointment help it.
