Re: im so upset

Re: im so upset

Try to relax, don't worry so much. It will probably be gone by the time the wedding comes and if you are getting your makeup done, they will be able to hide any marks. If you are doing your own and you still see something, try Dermablend. Good luck to you.

Re: im so upset

im sure in two weeks it will heal with neosporin and take really good care of it. i would also suggest going to a dermatologist as well.
worst case scenario..... a good make up artist can cover it up

Re: im so upset

Re: im so upset

oh no - it'll be ok - first of all, i am sure that make up can cover it and secondly, you still have two weeks to heal - what about neosporin for now and definitely try a dermatologist if you can!!

good luck!

You'll be fine

Re: im so upset

Don't worry, it will definitely go away!!! It should be almost completely gone within a week, and any slight redness that you may have can easily be covered up with makeup!

Re: im so upset

I will tell you that a make up artist can cover it. Danielle Reneé was able to cover the burns on my eyelids that salon caused the day before! My mother has a HUGE nasty scar and she was able to cover it. I didn't even no exactly where it was on her shoulder (the front) anymore!

Don't worry it will be ok!

Re: im so upset

Try asking your Dr for some Vitamin E. My SIL just had some surgery and she is putting it on her scar and its size and color has reduced greatly in a short amount of time

Re: im so upset

Try Vitamin E and Neosporin. Don't worry make-up will cover it but I am sure it will heal in time.
Sooooo sorry!!!!!

Re: im so upset

Call a doctor and get SILVADENE creme! The burn will heal within a few days without scarring!!!!

Re: im so upset

Go to your pharmacist, ask for scar remover medication, there is a cream out there that helps reduce scars.

Use neosporin, yes. DO NOT put make up on the area. Keep it clean and dry (other than neosporin). Try not to cover it as air helps healing.

See dermatologist for remedy.

Good luck I'm sure it will turn out fine.

Re: im so upset

Sorry to hear about that happening to you!! Take care of yourself and keep the area clean and like everyone says use the neosporin...it works great on scars!!!

Re: im so upset

Buy an aloe plant ASAP. Snip edges of the plant and continue to rub it onto the burse every 3 hours. It feels it quicker and no scarring (or at least minimum that it can be covered with foundation).
