Asked By:black_diamond in Chicago, IL

I live in Chicago and I had surgery in DR. I have a 3rd degree burn on my back and I may need surgery, cook county doctors say. As we all know, some doctors do not care for home remedies, such as aloe vera. Is this something that can heal on its own, with aloe vera and Platsul A? And does anyone know of any lawyers who practice outside of the country?
