i have second degree burns from using bleach there is a scab from my elbow to my wrist how can i prevent scar?

Answer 1

well just the obvious stuff------KEEP IT CLEAN AND DRY>>> NEVER POP BLISTERS... BURN WOUNDS ARE VERY VERY Suceptable to infection.. so try to avoid getting it infected at all..... drink plenty of water.... after it is completely healed ..I have heard good results from "Maderma" although takes a while.. Most likely the way you described unfortunately you probably will have some scarring.. you can seek advice from a dermatologist again after it is healed.... very unfortunate.. good luck!!!! ... Vitamin C.. Water... anti-inflammatories... anti-microbial/antibiotic creams may promote healing and prevent infections.............

Answer 2

Well you should have seen a doctor when the burn occurred to keep it from getting infected.

Use Mederma, its main purpose is for scars, you can get it at any drug store....it will cost you about $15 but its well worth it. Start putting it on the burn until it is completely healed. Or you can see a dermatologist and they can give you medication for scarring.
