Will a scar be left after a boiling water burn and do I need to lubricate my skin with something?

Good morning. A week ago I burned my hand with boiling water. After about 3 days, bubbles with fluid were formed, which burst spontaneously. The skin in this area is red and dry. The rest of the skin turned brown. Will such a scar remain or will the epidermis peel off and regenerate? Do I need to lubricate my skin with something?

The burn area should be systematically cared for to regenerate the epidermis and minimize the risk of scars or discoloration. Since a few days have passed since the burn and the skin is already dry, you can use products containing, for example, allantoin, vitamins A and E or hyaluronic acid. These substances affect the condition of the skin and have healing properties. Examples of preparations that can be ordered via our website with pick-up at the pharmacy or home delivery:

Once the skin is healed, but still pink, you can start using scar reduction products, such as:

The basis of care is regularity. The preparations should be applied to the skin every day, according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The affected area should be protected from UV rays, because irradiation of damaged skin causes permanent discoloration. It is worth remembering that a fresh burn should be cooled for 15-20 minutes. water at a temperature of about 10 degrees, and then apply hydrogel dressings of the Aquagel type or hydrogels in the form of "spreading" forms:

The above products hydrate the skin and create the right environment for immediate regeneration of the epidermis.
