    How to get rid of burn marks
    How to get rid of burn marks
    I was about 13 when I first burnt myself because I was clumsy with hot water and hot iron.I am now 18 and have 4 burn marks due to this and was wondering if anyone can give me advice on how to bleach or lighten these marks.. I have tried some products before, they become lighter but have not yet completely gone away.

    Can anyone tell me of a strong bleaching cream and/or soap that I can use to get rid of these marks.

    Something that I can get from a store

    And if so any natural creams or non harmful products without steroids and side effects of stretch marks etc.
    Thanks.

    Are you actually suggesting that the OP re-burn or injure the area in hopes that it will "grow back differently"?

    Are you for real?

    To the OP, have you talked to a plastic surgeon? Skin grafts may be your only option if the burn is very bad.
