Best thing for a burn/scar?

[Bernadine]

We rented a Harley yesterday and road through the Smokies, which was amazing, until my dumbass got off the bike and burned my leg. I have a blister the size of a quarter, sticking out about a quarter inch. It's disgusting. I've been putting neosporin on it, because that's what we had, but should I get something else?

silver sulphadiazine

Keep it clean and dry for now and/or slather it in aloe, preferably from a real aloe plant. Do NOT pop the blister. Once it isn't an open wound get some vitamin E gel and rub it in several times a day. The vitamin E and massage will help soften the skin and lessen the visibility of the scar tissue.

I still have a scar from my exhaust burn from a motorcycle when i was 12. It was so bad.

Dh (a biker) thinks its sexy. Lol.

Warmth is supposed to take the heat out of it. Maybe a warm washcloth?

massage helps break up scar tissue
sunscreen helps prevent hyperpigmentation of scars
silicon scar sheets help prevent the scar from becoming raised

all of that happens after it initially heals though

No no no.  You want to cool down the area at first.  No warmth nothing.  You want the skin to stop burning so cool things are best.

What can I do for a scar that is "textured" (i dunno, it's raised at some parts and not at others) and very old? It's on my face so I don't want to wear a silicone scar sheet.  Exfoliation of some sort? I exfoliate anyway, and have most of my adult life but it doesn't really help.

If it's really old, probably nothing short of a dermatologist using laser retexturing or some shit like that
