Burns can leave ugly scars behind which can often be embarrassing.

Try the following home remedies to lighten your burn marks -

  1. 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.  
  2. 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.
  3. Soak a cotton ball in blanched green tea and apply on the scar region to help heal faster.
  4. Dip a cotton ball in essential oil of lavender and apply over the scar region twice daily.
  5. Tea tree oil or olive oil when massaged on the scar regularly helps to lighten it.
  6. If your scar is too obvious and stubborn, you can use some make up tricks to hide it till it lightens.
