Burns/Scarring.
I normally don't mind having scars. They heal and fade on their own for me after a couple years. I'm a total klutz, so having scars on my legs isn't a big deal to me. Problem? I recently burned my face with a curling iron, and I really don't want a mark that big on my chin for the next two years.
My dermatologist told me that Mederma is a waste of money and time. Are there any other treatments I can do, and has anyone had any luck with Mederma? Absolutely anything is very much appreciated! =]

Aloe Vera is great for treating burns especially if the wound is open. You can either break off a piece of an Aloe Vera plant or get the gel form at a local drugstore. Once the scabbing stage has begun you can use vitamin e oil or cream to reduce scarring and discoloration.

AH! The same thing had happened to me once. Whatever you do, try not to touch it and absolutely DO NOT touch it. That would be bad. Also, apply Mederma if you'd like, but also apply a scratch or burn ointment at night. Let it dry, the re-apply. Then when you sleep make sure to apply scar ointment or cocoa butter to the burn. But do not apply the scar ointment if the wound is open. Also, once in a while, cleaning it with alcohol wouldn't hurt, I mean, it would physically hurt, yes, as far as a little stinging, but it might help.
Well, the best of luck to you.

Sometimes you just have to live with it.
haha. I burnt myself with my curling iron two a few years ago and I still have a light scar from it on my jaw line.
If it is still in the stage where the skin comes off then dont pick at it. Dirt on your hands may cause it to scar more.
Good luck.
