Manuka honey is soothing and ideally suited to sound care. It prevents skin infection and stimulated new skin growth. After washing gently it is applied once a day.

Hello.You should see a physician to see the extent of chemical damage to the skin.  Additionally, they can assess you for something called phyto photo dermatitis. The main thing for any healing scar is to keep it out of the sun.  Gentle treatment of this area and keep it as moist as possible while it heals.  Hope this helps.Nikki D. Hill, MD
