Asked By:babyburn2 in Miami, FL

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.
