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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm really curious about platelet rich plasma. Does it actually work for bald spots? Is there any chance that it could help with hair regrowth? And if I decide to go for it, do you think my hair fall will stop, or will I still need to rely on medications? Also, I'm a bit worried about the cost. Can you give me some guidance on that?
