A couple of months ago I spilled boiling water on myself and I had to go to the ER for second-degree burns. I've never had a serious accident like this before and I'm having trouble with the aftermath of it.

The burns are on my upper abdomen and breast (am female/29) and it's obviously a sensitive area. I've been using Vitamin E oil and Cocoa butter so that the scars will fade away, but honestly I hate dealing with this at all. Looking at it makes me sick...the initial healing stage has finished and my doctor said it'll need a few more months to heal but I'm worried about how much of the scarring will actually heal. (they can't guarantee anything)

I feel my self-esteem has taken a hit, I would really like some advice with how to cope, and also if anyone knows ways to speed up the recovery process?

Thank you.
