What can I do to get the pink/red skin to heal and go back to its natural skin color? (Photos)

Asked By:scottlarson96 in San Luis Obispo, CA

About a month ago I was attempting to hot compress a zit in between my eyes and I accidentally burned myself. It has been about 3 weeks since the scab came off and all that is left is this red/pink skin with no sign of getting better or starting to fade. So is there anything I can be doing to help speed this process up or minimize the scar that might be left behind?

Hi, More chances of acanthosis nigricans but even vitamin B 12 deficiency may lead to hyperpigmentations on skin. It is really difficult to analyse now. Anyways , Chemical peels and skin lightening creams followed by a broad spectrum sunblock will show a remarkable effect. Thanks.
