I've had 3 major skin graft surgeries because of 3rd degree burns. All my donor sites are scars and i dont know what to do to get rid of them. Ive worn the full body suits but it doesnt help. The surgeon suggested cosmetic using shark skin because it doesnt scar but this means i will have to remove all the healed skin grafts that had been put on the first time
