Suggest Remedy For Hypopigmentation From Skin Burn
My 8-year-old daughter suffered second degree burns from boiling water 22 days ago. Though the areas seem to have healed they re hypopigmented. Is there any cream I could use to help the hypopigmentation as the burn is still in its early stages and the skin is still active?

Thank you for query.usually the reigmentation to appear may take time.In children it will be better than adults.It also depends on degree of burns. primary closure, split skin and particulate grafting ,superficial dermabrasion of the depigmented region,Laser are the options delayed.it may be resistant to UV therapy.Consult dermatologist for proper management.
