Hi, I'm 25 years old, female. Recently, I got this burn on my face due to resin of papaya fruit. I got it all over my mouth. I've been applying contractubex on the affected area for almost a week now, but nothing's changed. Can you advise me an effected med or remedy for this one, Please?

Dear lybrate-user, Burn scars take a long time to mature, you will not see much change in one week because it takes a few months, approx 6-8 months for the scar to come to its final matured state. Continue to massage scar on face with contractubex twice a day, add on a sunscreen with SPF more than 30 atleast, 15 mins before going out of the house. If no change after a month then visit a plastic surgeon.
