Question

I've had a burn scar on my left chest since I was 3 when boiling water spilled on me. Now that I'm 18, it gets really irritated and tender by the end of the day when my clothes rub against it. Sometimes there's this dull, stabbing pain too. I've been using aloe vera gel, which helps cool it down, but once it dries, the irritation comes back. There's no inflammation or infection, though. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?

Question

I'm wondering if there are any side effects to using this combo for treating dark circles and uneven skin tone. How long is it safe to use, and when might I start seeing results? I've also been dealing with skin eczema, so I'm curious about any extra care or routines I should follow after stopping the treatment, assuming it's both safe and effective. Can you help with some guidance on this?
