@StellaStarGirl21 it took maybe 4 months until the skin had a normal sort of look to it. Now (a few years later) the scars are only noticeable if you are up close. They are like dents in his skin, and when he is really cold they can look a bit purple. The area is mostly numb and always will be numb, but all in all he has been very very lucky.

@sunshinemardrom Lots of gentle circular massage helps to keep the skin supple and stop it from contorting the way some burn tissue does. I also use Vitamin E oil - I buy the capsules that you are meant to swallow, but instead i prick them open with a pin and squeeze the liquid onto the skin. Apricot kernel oil is also great..
I'll try to take photos later

@juicyfruitzy , thanks :)
He has been pretty lucky - the scar is mostly normal skin colour now - most of it is still numb and always will be, but he was very lucky
It makes us realise how devastating it would be for people who have burns over more prominent areas of the body

@sunshinemardrom it depends on how the individual's skin reacts and how extensive the burn is. In his case, it took about 4 months until the skin wasn't shiny-pink looking. Some people can end up with lumpy, discoloured scar tissue, but he was lucky.
