How to remove pink skin after a burn. Burn blisters and spots: the right treatment

A burn is one of the most common household and industrial injuries. Even a skin lesion that is insignificant in area leaves a trace. Scars and scars after burns cause physical and aesthetic discomfort, and sometimes limit joint mobility. How to get rid of them - we will consider in our article.

Types of burns and their consequences

The appearance of post-burn scars depends on the underlying cause of their occurrence.

The main types of burns:

Thermal... It occurs as a result of exposure to high temperatures on the skin. It can be caused by sunlight, fire, hot liquid or steam, hot objects.

The likelihood of scarring depends on the severity of the burn. A grade I burn does not leave traces, since only the epidermis is affected. With grade 2 burns, red spots and small scars may remain on the skin. With burns of III and IV degrees, the skin, muscle and nerve tissues, and the fatty layer are injured, from the cells of which a dense scab is formed.

Chemical... The cause of chemical damage to the skin is caustic alkalis and concentrated acids. Traces from such burns have clear contours, the color of which depends on the chemical (black or brown scars are formed from sulfuric acid, yellowish scars from hydrochloric acid, yellow-green or yellow-brown scars from nitrogen, and white scars from hydrogen peroxide).

In some cases, a keloid (dense tumor-like growth of the fibrous connective tissues of the skin) may form at the site of the scar. The impetus for its development can serve as trauma or scratching the scar. During growth in the area of ​​the scar, itching, burning, painful sensations are felt when pressed.

Electric... In places of electric shock or lightning, there are “marks” (bubbles with serous fluid), in the place of which ugly scars are formed.

Radical scar treatment

For the treatment of keloid, chronic scars, as well as scars that occupy a large area, radical treatment methods are used:


Medicinal remedies

The maximum effect from the use of pharmacy products can be obtained at the stage of scar maturation. The course of treatment is usually about 6 months. The most popular drugs are:

  • ... The ointment contains onion extract, which prevents the formation of scar tissue and has a bactericidal effect on the wound. It contains heparin that softens tissues and promotes the regeneration of new cells, while allantoin eases discomfort during the healing process. The ointment should be rubbed into the burn site several times a day.
  • Kelofibraza... The cream is made on the basis of urea and sodium heparin, which increase blood circulation, make scar tissue more elastic, promote skin regeneration and resorption of the scar. The cream is applied to the post-burn scar 4 times a day with light massaging movements until completely absorbed. On old scars, you need to apply compresses with cream at night.
  • Zeraderm Ultra... The ointment has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and regenerating effects. Effective for celiac and hypertrophic scars after burns. It is applied after complete healing of the wound 2 times a day.

In no case should you remove the crust formed on the wound after the burn. Thus, the situation can be aggravated by increasing the depth of the scar.

  • ... An anti-scar drug of a new generation, intended for the correction of scars and the prevention of their development. It is produced in the form of a transparent gel, which must be applied to the affected area twice a day, 3 weeks after the burn, or in the form of an electrophoresis kit. With the help of an electrophoresis procedure, the medicine is injected under the skin and acts on the scar from the inside.
  • Silicone plate "Spenko"... A transparent silicone plate 10x10 cm in size is intended for the removal of cicatricial formations of various origins, incl. post-burn. It is attached to the scar with a bandage or adhesive plaster and is removed only a few times a day for hygiene procedures.

Today, many women visit tanning salons to have an even tan all year round. However, with too frequent visits or too long procedures, age spots may appear on the skin, which is quite difficult to deal with.

Instructions

First of all, if, after visiting the solarium, age spots appear on your body, refuse further sessions at least for the duration of the treatment. Do not sunbathe and wear closed clothing, and use special protective creams.

If you do not experience irritation, itching, rash, or redness, you can use this cream.

Cosmetologists and dermatologists recommend choosing whitening products based on fatty creams, since they do not contain water (contact with water can cause various reactions on the skin) and are not as toxic. Remember that when using such ointments, you cannot wash your face with water - use special tonics, lotions or sour milk.

There are also many popular recipes for whitening skin using natural remedies. The composition of such masks usually includes lemon juice or zest, elderberry infusion, cabbage juice, egg white, honey.

If cosmetic whitening products aren't helping you deal with age spots, your doctor may advise you to go through a chemical peel. This procedure is based on the use of acids, which burn the upper layer of the skin, as a result of which it is removed along with all pigmentation. The cost of chemical peeling in various salons and centers varies from two to four thousand rubles.

Another procedure that specialists can offer you is laser face resurfacing. Its action is similar to chemical peeling, but for this method a laser is used, not acid. It costs an order of magnitude more expensive than peeling, but it is much more effective and less. In addition, skin recovery after such a procedure will be at least twice as fast as after using acids.

One of the newest methods of combating excessive pigmentation is phototherapy. During this procedure, the skin is not damaged, unlike the previous two. The pigment spots removed in this way, subject to the recommendations of the doctor, will no longer appear, and the restoration of the complexion occurs in just a couple of days.

You can also use ice cream for children, if you are not allergic, or use a slice of aloe leaf cut lengthwise to your skin. Do not pour cold water on the affected area - this will only worsen your condition.

On a fresh burn, you should regularly apply a bandage with a greasy ointment to prevent the skin from drying out and cracking. With such care, after an injury, you will not have any traces, unless, of course, the burn is too large and deep.

Stains from old burns can be removed using folk methods. For example, an injured area should be wiped with a cut of fresh potatoes two or three times a day. You can also make potato gruel and apply it to your skin. Aloe also works well. You can apply the cut leaves of the plant, or you can squeeze the juice out of it, wet a bandage with it and make a compress. Change the compress as it dries.

You can also use castor oil or lemon zest and juice, which have whitening properties. They can be added to the cream and densely affected area, or you can make a special mask. To do this, take butter and beeswax in a two to one ratio, heat in a water bath, stir, cool a little, add the zest and lemon juice there and apply to the skin. The oil will nourish the damaged area, the wax will soften it, and the lemon will whiten it.

At the pharmacy, you can buy ointments to combat burn marks. For example, "Contractubex", "Panthenol", "Bepanten", "Pantoderm", "Actovegin", "Sintomycin", "Mederma" and "Solcoseryl". The effect of their use is not immediately noticeable, so be patient and use these products regularly for two to three months.

In case of burns with alkali, the damaged area is washed with water and treated with a 2% solution of citric or acetic acid. After that, you also need to immediately consult a doctor.


If you receive electrical burns, you must immediately release the victim from the effects of the damaging factor, and then apply a clean sterile dressing and immediately consult a doctor.

Can I use ointments and creams for burns?

It is permissible to use ointments and creams. So, for the treatment of a burn of thermal origin, Procelan ointment is most often used. It has good bactericidal properties. In addition, this ointment contains an anesthetic ingredient that will relieve pain during the first time of the burn.


Povignon-iodine ointment has proven itself quite well. It contains active iodine, which disinfects the wound, as well as components that accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissue. The Rescuer made on the basis of natural ingredients has a similar effect.


Also, for early healing and to avoid skin infection, Levomekol and Panthenol ointments are traditionally used.

What is forbidden to do with burns

It is strictly forbidden: - from the injured person's clothes adhered as a result of thermal influence; - a bladder in case of a burn and, moreover, to open it; - touching damaged areas with your hands; - apply cream, ointment, urine, bulk preparations, oils, hydrogen peroxide, preparations containing alcohol to the damaged areas; - if you have a second-degree burn or higher, you cannot self-medicate. You must immediately contact a medical institution to receive qualified assistance. - apply ice, cotton wool, plasters, etc. to the affected area.

Scars and dark spots after a burn remain with damage to the deep layers of the skin, sweat glands, hair follicles. Injury to the subcutaneous fat in half of the cases leads to the fact that visible scars remain. To eliminate post-burn marks, therapy with folk and medication is used, as well as hardware treatment by a beautician.

Why pigmentation remains after burns

Burn marks remain after a strong violation of the integrity of the skin and underlying tissues. The greatest danger is posed by injuries caused by:

  • chemical reagents;
  • hot objects;
  • electric shock;
  • boiling oil;
  • hot gas.

Pigmented spots from chemical burns do not go away for years, and cicatricial changes in the injured areas remain for life. Cosmetic defects occur due to exposure of the cells of the epidermis and dermis to chemically aggressive liquids or high temperatures.

The causes of post-burn spots include:

  • Coagulation (folding) of proteins. During a burn, the local skin temperature rises to 50-60 ° C or more. Already at temperatures above 42 ° C, protein begins to break down in the cells. At the time of epidermis restoration, either too many (hyperpigmentation) or too few (hypopigmentation) melanocytes are formed in the injured areas. Therefore, spots of white, red or brown shades remain at the site of the injury.
  • Cicatricial changes. With burns of 3A and ZB degrees, connective tissue is formed in the injured areas. Scar tissue grows unevenly. Therefore, in the burned areas, pale pink spots appear in the form of depressions (atrophic scars) or sagging (hypertrophic scars).
Scars remain even with superficial burns in case of infectious inflammation of the injured skin.

The factors that provoke spots after burns include:

  • improper treatment of fresh wounds;
  • abuse of sunbathing;
  • taking antibiotics or birth control pills when visiting a tanning bed.

Inappropriate treatment often causes hyperpigmentation or scarring on the body. If you do not treat burns with antiseptics and antimicrobial agents, this will lead to bacterial and purulent inflammation. A complication in 30% of cases is dark spots or pronounced scars on the body.

How to remove burn marks

Methods for removing post-burn spots are determined by the nature, extent and severity of the damage. Before removing redness from a burn, you should consult with a combustiologist or dermatologist. If age spots are combined with cicatricial deformities, combined methods of therapy are used - plastic surgery and drugs. With relatively shallow lesions, they are limited to conservative methods - hardware, medication.

Hardware methods

Burn marks are a cosmetic defect that negatively affects the psychoemotional state of a person. The greatest discomfort is caused by spots on the face, neck, on the visible part of the arms, back and legs.

Before you get rid of burn spots, you need to make sure that there are no contraindications. Apparatus treatment of spots is not used during periods of exacerbation of infectious and dermatological diseases - eczema, psoriasis, neurodermatitis, pyoderma, herpes.

To eliminate cosmetic defects on the body from chemical and thermal burns, different procedures are used:

  • Chemical peeling - removal of post-burn spots and other cosmetic defects using chemically active solutions, gels. Preparations with acids are applied to problem areas - lactic, pyruvic, malic, etc. If necessary, the procedure is carried out several times until the spots after thermal, radiation or chemical burns are completely removed.
  • Laser therapy - evaporation of the surface layer of the skin with a laser beam. Only defects are processed, due to which the melanocytes in them are destroyed. This leads to discoloration of the burn spots.
  • Mesotherapy is the introduction of medicinal solutions into the burn site with a needle or electric current. To remove stains, make multiple injections of decolorizing solutions.
  • Collostotherapy - injection of drugs with collagen substitutes under the skin. It is used to eliminate hypotrophic scars, that is, depressions. Special solutions fill the voids in the connective tissue, thereby smoothening the skin.
  • Microdermabrasion - resurfacing of the surface layers of the epidermis. Technologically, the procedure is almost the same as mechanical peeling. To remove spots or scars from burns, special grinding attachments are used that exfoliate dead cells. After several sessions of microdermabrasion, skin defects become practically invisible.

 For people with hypersensitive skin, chemical and mechanical methods of removing color spots and scars after burns are not recommended.

To achieve the maximum effect, perform from 3 to 10 sessions of apparatus therapy. The frequency of visiting the beautician's office depends on the area and color saturation of the post-burn spots.

Medicines

Topical bleaching and anti-scar products can be used to treat dark burn spots. Unlike injections and tablets, the components of ointments and creams do not penetrate the systemic circulation, do not load the kidneys and liver. To combat stains, it is recommended to use creams:

  • Mederma is a regenerating drug that destroys fibrin threads. It is used to eliminate fresh traces of burn injuries - keloid and hypertrophic scars.
  • Solcoseryl is a healing agent that whitens the skin, accelerates its recovery after burns. Increases the consumption of oxygen by epidermal cells, which stimulates the regeneration of burned areas.
  • Dermatix Ultra is a regenerating gel that prevents hypertrophic burn scars. It is applied to the affected skin during the healing phase. It is used for resorption of post-burn scars up to 2 years after their formation.
  • Contractubex is a gel with a softening, anti-inflammatory and smoothing effect. Apply to burn spots to prevent overgrowth of connective tissue. Prevents fibrin synthesis, ugly sagging.
  • Medgel - gel plates that prevent red spots and keloid scars. It is used for the prevention of cosmetic defects after thermal, chemical burns, surgery.
  • Kelofibrase is an anti-scar cream. Prevents the proliferation of connective tissue in burnt skin. Improves blood microcirculation by stimulating the renewal of epidermal cells.

 The effectiveness of drug therapy depends on the timeliness of treatment of post-burn spots. The earlier treatment is started, the higher the likelihood of getting rid of cosmetic defects completely.

Before getting rid of burn marks with ointments and gels, consult a dermatologist. Some drugs contain methyl parahydroxybenzoate, which can cause allergic reactions and dermatoses.

To prevent hypertrophic scars and age spots, it is necessary to treat burns in a timely manner. For the primary treatment of injured areas, it is recommended to use funds with provitamin B5 - Panthenol, Bepanten, Dexpanthenol. In the case of bacterial inflammation, local antibiotic ointments are used - Erythromycin, Tetracycline.

Folk ways

Alternative medicine offers many natural remedies for burn spots. Their action is based on softening damaged areas of the epidermis, stimulating recovery processes. To eliminate traces of thermal damage, the following are used:

  • Sea buckthorn oil. Gauze is moistened in oil and applied to burnt skin. The dressing is changed every day until the epidermis is completely restored.
  • Potato tortilla. Fresh potatoes are ground on a grater and applied to red traces for 30-40 minutes up to 3 times a day. The procedure is performed until the burn spots disappear completely.
  • Whitening solution. A cotton pad is moistened in a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide (proportions 1: 3). Wipe them with post-burn marks 3-4 times a day until they are completely discolored.
  • Oil with wax. 100 g of olive oil is mixed with 50 g of crushed beeswax. The mixture is heated over a fire until the wax dissolves. Fresh pale pink traces or scars from burns are smeared with a thinned agent 4-5 times a day.

If, after using folk remedies, rashes or redness appear on the skin, this indicates an allergic reaction.

How to prevent the formation of scars and age spots

Post-burn marks are the result of inadequate treatment of a burn injury. To avoid complications, the depth of damage is assessed, after which an adequate therapy regimen is drawn up.

To prevent a trace of burns, you must:

  • refuse to use folk remedies at the stage of providing emergency assistance;
  • treat the burned areas only with anti-burn agents - Bepanten, Panthenol, Argosulfan, Olazol, etc.;
  • apply a sterile bandage to burns to prevent their infectious inflammation.

Do not treat fresh burns with vegetable oil or animal fat. If, after tightening the wound, noticeable traces remain, they are lubricated with anti-scar ointments. Fresh scars and age spots respond well to conservative therapy.
