Is This Normal?

The best thing to do is to ask a professional. If you can't get to one right away, keep hydrated. And if thats still healing keep it hydrated as well.

Have you looked into Retin-A and possibly copper peptides? I don't think you need anything else based on the picture I've seen. The edges of the scar will soften and it's going to look much better and...

I have a question, so I figure I'd ask it here since it wouldn't make much sense in posting a new one when this sort of has to do with discoloration. Do all scars turn red after touching them, hot s...
