Am applying vicco turmeric cream but no improvement. I am using sunscreen and have to camouflage the spot with make up when i go out. How long will it take to return to normal and what should i apply??

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
cosmetic preparation should never be use in place of medicine, the burns marks when tempered does not go away soon, you need to wait little more time it will go away without any treatment tampering it may some time sets it up permanently or need some costly treatment so stop tampering it, if it does not vanishes within a month or so then apply Hydroquinone cream will give best result have best luck.
