Cica-Care is a self-adhesive gel sheet that helps improve the appearance of scars.
Cica-Care is durable, comfortable and re-usable, ideal for day and night use. Cica-Care has been shown to be successful in improving older scars, however results are expected to be most effective in more recent scars.
Within 2-4 months, scars you thought were permanent can be reduced and their appearance improved.
Cica-Care is an advanced form of silicone contained within a gel sheet that provides a comfortable, convenient treatment for red, dark or raised scars. It has been widely used in hospitals by dermatologists and surgeons. The majority of red, raised and dark scars improve when Cica-Care is used.
Research into how Cica-Care works suggests that it may occlude the skin to hydrate the scar area. This means moisture is locked into the skin around the scar.
The effect of this is to make the scar tissue paler in color, closer to the natural color of your skin.

It%26#039;s not possible to completely remove a scar, but a few treatments might help make your scars less noticeable:
Onion Extract acts as an anti-inflammatory and seems to inhibit the over-production of collagen in a scar.
Silicone, available either as a gel or in rubber-like sheets, has been found to lighten and flatten scars. You apply the gel directly to the scar or use medical tape to cover the scar with the silicone sheet. It isn%26#039;t known exactly how silicone helps scars heal 鈥?some researchers think that static electricity from the silicone helps align collagen fibers in the scar, while others think it might help trap moisture, which can help make scars fade.|||For immediate burns: put under running cold water for few minutes. The pat dry and apply aloe vera gel. Aloe vera gel takes the sting out of burns if applied early enough plus may prevent scarring but it has to be applied early on. If the burn is deep and/or extensive then go to A %26amp; E straight away. It would need to be seen by a doctor because there is a risk of infection plus a doctor needs to assess the extent of the damage and best course of action. Because your son is only 2 you really need to get the burn assessed by a doctor. Go asap.
Edited:
If the burn has been long-standing, ie you are in the post-immediate treatment stage then you could apply vitamin e oil or bio oil. Both have been used for scar reduction. Another one worth trying is Rosehip oil ( Rosa mosqueta). Scientific studies have shown improvement, ie scar reduction.

It worked great. The only way you can tell I have the scar on my forehead is if I scrunch up my face :)...or wear bad makeup lol. I figure if that stuff can reduce a scar that big ( I had 38 stitches, it went from eyelid to hair line) than it%26#039;s gotta be good.
