Suggest Treatment For Burns On Nose And Forehead
Hi, I recently was out in the sun and got burnt on my nose and forehead, then a few days ago it started peeling and now it has left scabs on my face. I ve been applying moisturizer to it is there anything else I can do it heal it? And will the scabs leave a scar?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, scabs can leave scar and hence it is recommended to take proper precautions for better results. Guidelines as below:
- Keep the area clean with antiseptic liquid or soap
- Local application of aloe vera gel
- Polymycin cream heals excellent way
- Avoid exposure to sunny rays
- Control of blood sugar
- Supportive multi-vitamins and minerals with anti-oxidants
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
