Q: Can erasing be used for removing burn marks?
A:Burn marks go with time or various plastic surgery procedures. Most of the erasing ointments use various combinations of sunprotective or antimelanocytic or bleaching drugs. Because of these drugs they can make the marks lighter. They should not be used in acute wounds or if they irritate the skin.
