Skin Graph Surgery After Burning With Grease, Skin Changing Color, Getting Temporary Skin Removed. How To Speed Up Healing ?

Hi. I burned myself with grease while cooking two weeks ago and had to get skin graph surgery. My kin is changing back to its original color fairly quickly in some places and in others, it just looks like its going to be pink or either have the dark burn mark forever. I am getting the temporary skin removed later this week and Im wondering what I can do to speed up the healing and pigment changing process once it is removed.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi, look these process needs a gradual recovery there is no need to go speedily.
Plz put on lots of moistorisers so that the grafted skin does not turn harder
Avoid sun exposure on that part
take lots of citrous foods for better healing
At a later stage if pigmentation is a problem something could be done
take care
