Hello! I had an accident few days ago. I burned my hand with hot water when I was preparing my morning coffee. The burn was not so serious; I put my hand under the running cold water and cover the hand with sterile gauze. I felt mild pain. The wound has already almost healed but I see that the skin is different in color. wat is the best treatment for scars after a burn from hot water?

Hello! As I understood your burn was not very serious. I don’t think you will have a scar after the wound is completely healed. Maybe the skin will be different in color for some time but this is usually not noticeable. Scar tissue tends to be rather different to the tissue it is repairing. Usually scar tissue is tougher or harder, commonly discolored and hair will not grow back. There are many cosmetic creams and gels used to treat the discolored skin but you have to talk to your dermatologist first.

Long having been used as a skin lightener, it can have the same effect for scars. The citric acid in lemon juice helps exfoliate and lighten the top layer of scar cells. Swab some lemon juice, diluted with water, on scars to reduce their appearance. You can apply it a few times a day if your skin is not sensitive. Cut a lemon in half and rub it over your face for an all-natural pore-tightening

Well first off you should have used an aloe vera plant to help heal it during that three week proccess. But thats okay. goto the drug store and buy vitamine E oil. apply it each night before you go to bed. Be sure to wear a big shirt you dont care much about it kind of stains. but thats is the best way to rid scars. aslo drink a lot of water it keeps your skin healthy.that will help more than you think.

i also know that vitamin E is very good for skin health. vitamin E has regeneration properties so may be creams containing vitamin E will benefit your skin and vitaminize it!
