Pure Vitamin E oils will help greatly, but this is not an overnight process. I would just open up a Vitamin E capsule and rub it on my 2nd and 3rd degree Hot oil burns, after the new skin had grown and I could actually touch the skin without it hurting. The Vit E oil is very thick and sticky and takes a while to absorb into the skin. Aloe Vera plant broken off and rubbed on the areas will also help to resoften the skin, this soaks in a lot faster. Both processes will take time, and the more often it is applied the better for the skin. At least 2 times a day if not 3. I do still have the scars, and when I get in the sun they do jump out and say hello, 20 + years now....Good Luck to her.

There is a cream out called Mederma that works very well as well as clear overlays made by a few companies, one I believe is Curaid, that help to smooth out the scars. She should however read the directions carefully as to when she can actually start putting anything on the scars if they just occurred, an MD is obviously the best person to discuss this with. If she has the money or possibly insurance may cover a plastic surgeon consult.

Pure Aloe Vera ointment and drink lots of Aloe Vera juice. She should do this while it is healing as once it's scar tissue, very little can be done as it is the healing skin knitting together.

try emu oil or pure aloe vera...buy the plant and break a piece of the leaf and rub the gel on your skin it soothes the sting of the burn instantly, while healing the scarring
