Would The Skin Recover From Burn Injury?
My two and half year old son has burn injury on his face with hot oil. The woods have healed but there is loss of pigmentation to his face. Some skin has come back arounbd his eyes (orbital region and eyelids) but is dark in colour. His face looks quite patchy. There is one rather strong scare near his eye (close to the bridge of nose). Will be recover fully?

Hello,
I understand your concern regarding the burn injury to your son.
Burn injuries take considerably longer time to heal.
The healing is infact much faster in kids.
You need not worry as it will take time but the pigmentation will lighten with time.
Apply pure coconut oil on the pigmentation every night. This is mild for the Child's skin as well as has good healing properties.
All the best. Take care
