How Can A Burn Wound On The Leg Be Treated?

Hi, so i had burned scar on my leg because of a hair straighter. Ive put creams on it which made my skin peel off and it also kinda made the scar invisible but today I placed veet on my legs and the scar part of my skin became so red and its very painful. The red part is only in the skin thats aroung the scar. Im so scared will this be gone? Or will it be here forever? Huhuhu

Hello,

Nothing to worry redness may be due to healing wound or allergy to the very you applied. Don t apply anything near scar okay. Use Silverex past at the site is useful. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,

Burns wound should be treated with iodine-based ointments available in the market. Wokadine is the trade name of ointment you can use and dress the part.
