I'm really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned. After treatment, her chest is okay now, but the skin color where it burned is different from her normal skin. What can I do to help the color of the burned skin blend back in with her regular skin tone?

Aquaphor healing ointment is advised for local application for 1 week once daily , any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really curious about how effective homeopathic medicine is for treating skin problems. I've also heard concerns that they might contain steroids. Can you shed some light on this? How can we be sure they're safe and what should I look out for?

There are certain records saying homeopathy medicine would work,and I suggest you to go with the seriousness of your issue if it is serious better option for allopathy, and for your reference homeopathy medicine do not contain steroids.
