Tanning and Burn Scars?

About a year ago my leg was scalded pretty badly by boiling Ramen noodle soup. Now I'm getting married in less than 2 months and I was hoping to go tanning so I have a bit of color on my wedding day (I don't want to blend with my dress! lol). However, when I went tanning for a 10 minute session my scar felt like it was burning all over again! Does anyone know what I can put on it to keep it from feeling like this? I put a towel on it but I could still feel the heat and it was very uncomfortable.


Also, I tried self tanner and I didn't like the results.


The burn is on the inside of my thigh in case that helps.


Thanks for the help!
Tanning and Burn Scars?
Apply a really strong SPF to the area. At least an SPF of 50. This should help greatly. If you still have some burning, put a towel over the area. Not only do scars tend to have a burning sensation while tanning, they can also become miscolored.





Good luck and have a wonderful wedding!

Are you taking any kind of medication?


It could cause your skin to be extra sensitive. Be careful and don't burn!
