I have a brownish mark left on my belly from a hot water burn and I'm wondering if this is might fade in time or not. Also, is there a remedy out there to help my skin discoloration? Thank you for your help.

Mercie, How long ago did you recieve the burn? The more recent the scar is the better the outcome will be as far as the discoloration fading with treatment. I would recommend trying Mederma. Using this product faithfully and as directed should result in the fading of the discoloration.

Good Luck,

Thank you for your help, Valleygurl, but my burn is not very recent as it happened around the beginning of the year. All that remains now is a light brown mark (no scarring) and it's like it's blended in with my skin color. I'm not sure what I should do.
