Can You Still Get Rid of a Scar That Has Been Sunburnt?

August 15, 2010
Asked By:7223anon in Lancaster,NY

In 2008 I had my thyroid removed which left me with a huge scar.It was hypertropic and I received steroid injections for that which helped to a point but it is still a prominent scar.Unfortunately today being out in the sun I did not repeatedly apply sunscreen to it and it got somewhat burnt and is now red.I am very afraid that it won't go away now and I really would like it to fade and go away.Is there anything that I can do to help make it go away?
