Burn Scar

[sam18261]

I have a long burn scar on the side of my face, will it always be visible? Seems to be more so after bathing or if I'm warm

[Mr Ioannis Goutos]

Scars are unfortunaltely permanent although there are a lot we can do as health professionals to improve their appearance and effect on quality of life.
The reason why the scar might become more visible after bathing or when warm is because the blood vessels who carry blood to the area get wider with temperature, so more blood flows and make the scar more vascular and hence more prominent.

Best regards,
