Suggest Treatment For An Infection In A Burn Wound On The Thigh

Hello my name is Lucy and I burnt my thigh about 8 weeks ago and I got second degree burns and it got infected. I am healed now mainly but I have red pigmentation where the burn was and I know it has only been about 5 weeks since its been healed properly but I would like to know if this red pigmentation will eventually go away?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Superficial burn scar disappears with time. But if burn has affected deeper tissue then it may not disappear. I think redness will disappear with time. There is no need to worry.
Advice
1.     Apply Elovera cream thrice daily locally. It will expedite healing process
Thanks
