What Reduces The Scarring Around The Eye Caused Due To Friction Burn?
I recently got a pretty bad friction burn around the orbital socket of my left eye from surfing. I ve been keeping the area moist with antibacterial ointment and vitamin e oil. The new skin has grown back but is there any way to minimize the amount of scarring to the area?

Hello
It seems from the history that you suffered burns around the orbital socket.
To minimize scarring need to keep the adjoining surfaces separate by using ointments or by sweeping a glass rod coated with eye ointment so that the surfaces should not heal together and result in scar which can lead to lid abnormalities like cicatrical entropion or ectropion.
Thank you
