I have 3rd degree burns that look like that in the picture. I wont post all my scars because im not comfortable but its in one thigh, 2 arms and half of my face. I was burn when i was a kid and im a young adult now. The scars are 16 years old.

I sincerely want to improve the appearance of my scars (no tattoos because i already have one). Those of you who have had severe third-degree and fourth-degree burns, did you undergo any surgery or treatment afterward? If so, what kind? Treatment of older scars is preferable as they receive less stimulation than recent scars. 


I was in a country where burn treatment is limited due to a lack of research, and several dermatologists I consulted said there's nothing more they can do because the scars are old. Now I'm in the United States, and here they have much more research and treatments related to this, so I'm a bit more motivated and researching the best options.


I would also like, if possible, to speak with someone who has suffered severe burns to share experiences, such as what dating life is like, and their social circle. My childhood was terrible and lonely. I suffered a lot of bullying. I started going to the gym at 14 years old because I thought no one would love me if I didn't at least have a nice body. I only managed to have my first romantic date at 20. Men don't make a big deal out of it, and even during sex, after I talk about it, they don't care and say they couldnt care less about it. It's very difficult to believe that it doesn't matter after suffering so many years of bullying and having such different skin, even though I take care of my body. I will be returning to therapy after much progress with my former psychologist (I stopped therapy after moving to another country) due to a sudden and drastic drop in self-esteem. I can no longer go on dates because I have this terrible self-image, and I think my biggest problem is how I see myself, not what other people think.
