My hand got burned by a firecracker a couple of years ago. It's healed now, but I've noticed these white and pink spots where the burn was. Should I be worried about these spots, or are they normal? Is there anything I can do to make them less noticeable?

The white and pink spots on your hand are likely a result of post-burn pigmentation changes, which can occur after the skin heals. This is common and may take time to fade or even out, but if the spots persist or cause concern, a dermatologist can offer treatments to improve the appearance.
