My burn won't heal what can I do?

[Anonymous]

So i had a pimple on my face around 3 weeks ago and decided to put alcohol on it, unfortunately the alcohol was very pure and it burned my skin and it left a mark of the size of a nickel with a brown border and pink center, I've been putting some Neosporin and other healing medicines but almost a month later it almost looks exactly the same. What can i do so i can get my skin back to its normal texture and pigmentation?

Try exfoliating. I know that sounds girly, but it really helps. It takes off a layer of dead skin cells, which allows for the cells to renew at a faster rate. The new skin replaces the old one and the regeneration keeps occurring if you exfoliate 1-2 times a week. It is great for facial scarring and discoloration. YOU MUST use a natural one though, otherwise your skin will just be irritated. You have to be patient though, you're not going to see results immediately. There are plenty of unisex skin care lines out there. Also, dab Vitamin E oil on it.

If even that doesn't help, go to a dermatologist and they can prescribe retinol which does is heavy duty but should do the trick. If this scar is still there and you are really that desperate to get rid of it, a dermatologist can use an infrared laser to remove the scarring. Also, eat healthy and drink lots of water because that improves ALL skin issues, guaranteed.

Sounds like a trip to the doctor's to me
