Burn pigmentation on the leg can be treated carefully with appropriate products, but using Glyco 12 (which contains glycolic acid) on leg skin should be done cautiously.

🩺 Use of Glyco 12 on burn pigmentation on the leg

Glyco 12 is a glycolic acid product often used for facial pigmentation and exfoliation. While it may help lighten pigmentation, the skin on the leg can be less sensitive than the face but may still react differently. Applying Glyco 12 on burn pigmentation is possible but should be done with caution to avoid irritation or worsening of the burn scar. It’s best to start with a small test area and avoid broken or healing skin.

🩺 Use of Ethiglo Soap for burn pigmentation

Ethiglo Soap contains kojic acid and glycolic acid, which help reduce pigmentation and cleanse the skin. It is generally safe for use on hyperpigmented skin and can be used on the leg to help with pigmentation. However, since burn pigmentation involves damaged skin, ensure the skin is fully healed before using such soaps to prevent irritation.

🏥 Alternative treatments and precautions

• Consider using products specifically formulated for post-burn scars and pigmentation, such as silicone gels or creams recommended by a dermatologist.
• Always protect the affected area from sun exposure with sunscreen to prevent pigmentation worsening.
• Avoid harsh scrubs or strong acids on healing skin to prevent irritation.
• Consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment options, which may include topical lightening agents, laser therapy, or other procedures.

It is advisable to consult a dermatologist before starting or changing treatments for burn pigmentation to ensure safety and effectiveness.
