How Must Skin Burns Be Treated?
my 3 year old burned the pads of her fingers with a flat iron. I put an ice pack on her fingers, I have given her a bottle (she has been off of them but asked for one). She has calmed down a bit, but I am wondering if a doctor could do anything that I am not doing for her now.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have skin burns. I would suggest you to massage your scar daily with a moisturizer cream , this will help collagen circulation to the site of the scare. this will help collagen to be evenly disturbed through skin. collagen is fundemintal to healing of scars, apply a sunscreen on your scars when you are going out. UV rays cause scars to darken . use a sun screen with spf 50 or more, eat plenty of vitamin c and zinc enriched food as citrus fruits, nuts, broccoli, cryosurgery is also a line of treatment , done by a plastic surgery to remove damaged tissues. Also use cold compresses if there is itching and irritation. Consult dermatologist if symptoms persists.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
