Burns can leave ugly scars behind which can often be embarrassing. Try the following home remedies to lighten your burn marks -
- Use a skin bleaching cream which contains hydroquinone to bleach the burn mark on your leg. First perform a test using small amount of bleach in a small patch of skin.
If it doesn't irritate then go ahead and bleach the burnt skin on your leg. This will help to fade away the burn mark. - Vitamin E caplets can be smeared on the scar area.
It has a healing effect. A mixture of vitamin E caplets and aloe vera also helps to lighten the scar. - Soak a cotton ball in blanched green tea and apply on the scar region to help heal faster.
- Dip a cotton ball in essential oil of lavender and apply over the scar region twice daily.
- Tea tree oil or olive oil when massaged on the scar regularly helps to lighten it.
- If your scar is too obvious and stubborn, you can use some make up tricks to hide it till it lightens.
