Sunburn and scarring
I am sunburnt - I have extensive scars on my arms and the bigger ones have become incredibly raised and taut (ordinarily they are all healed, white etc).
Just wondering aside from the usual water, moisturiser and painkillers is there antything extra I can do to soothe the burnt scarring? -

Re: Sunburn and scarringCan't offer you any practical advice for now, but make sure that you put strong sun lotion frequently on next time, scars burn A LOT easier than normal skin.

Re: Sunburn and scarringI'm confused. You mean you are scarred from sunburn or have scars from cutting yourself (or an accident) which have themselves been burnt by sun?(Original post by beebie)
