It was first degree but it looks awful as its taken away my pigmentated skin. Some parts have gone very dark and others have gone white.
I desperately want to fix this as im depressed. My doctor prescibed diprosone to me just a few weeks ago which is like 3rd Jan 2007. Nothing has happened and its still dark. im olive and its like a chocolate dark burn...
Also will my new lighter skin darken up as when i stand its milk white ...i desperately need answers...
what treatment is available? i heard of tatooing the skin with my skin colour but i dont trust it... what about the fraxel laser? ive used it on my face and its taken my other scars on my face..will it work on my leg??My doc says it should have lightened up by now???
Please help..
