What Is The Remedy For The Discoloration And Raised Skin Caused Due To The Burn?

Hello, I burned myself on a dryer about a year ago on my arm. The skin is healed but I don t like how it looks. My skin is discolored and it rises above the rest of the skin on my arm. I was wondering if theres anyway I can have it removed or at least make look better. Thanks.

Dermatologist, Dr. Ilyas Patel's Response

Hi,

The healed skin developed hypertrophic scar and depigmentation due to improper healing. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Intralesional steroid injection, hyaluronic acid silicone gel, cap vitamin E, tab vitamin C etc. may be considered.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
