Hi,

Burn scars are never permanent so they usually go away. Since it is an old burn scar on your skin you can go for laser therapy, steroid injections or surgery to remove the scar tissue. Use sunscreens like SPF 30.

At home you can apply lemon juice, almond/ olive or coconut oil, tomato juice, aloe vera juice or milk on a regular basis(rub it on the burnt area, massage) & leave it there for some time then rinse.

It may take time but is effective. You can chose whatever best suits you regarding the above products.

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

Take care

Regards,
