Iron burn marks on the back forearm can cause post-burn pigmentation or scarring, especially if the burn was deep. Avoid applying harsh creams or home chemicals. Keep the area moisturized and apply aloe vera gel for soothing. Use sunscreen if the area is exposed. If the mark is dark, thick,, or not improving, proper assessment is important. You may visit our clinic for evaluation and suitable scar treatment options.

Hi there...
An 8 yr old burn mark is a very different beast from a recent onset burn...
Both will need separate creams.
Please post pics of your problem and once visualised will be in a better position to recommend a cream.
An INSTANT ONLINE Consultation is probably your best bet🙏
