There really is no "magic bullet" lotino to keep scaring down. Many people use vitamin e oil as detailed by nippee. Pressure therapy will help but it is not likely you will have that available to you as someone needs to make a cutomized mask for the face called a uvex mask. Children of this age heal very well, and the burn will change its appearance for 12 to 18 months following the injury. Therefore, if you are less than satisfied with the result it is likely to improve with some time.
