Any treatment or product to help pigmentation return to normal after a superficial second degree burn (3 small blisters) that occurred 3 weeks ago with a hair iron. The skin healed promptly and I have been applying moisturizer and sunblock (even though no sun exposure since accident). Skin is fair and rosey. Dr are not worried about scaring as skin is smooth etc. but I am worried about pigmentation. Would like to know how long does it normally take for the skin to gain its color also. Thanks.
Answer: Is there any treatment to help pigmentation return to normal after a recent second degree burn? Thank you for your pictures and questions. The best things that you can do are provide good SPF sun protection to the scar as it heals (or keep it out of the sun) and give it time. Pigment can often take 6-12 months to return to the skin after a burn. Talk with your plastic surgeon about options for scar management.Best of luck!Dallas R.
