As a fire survivor with third degree burns on my skin (age 10 at the time, burns were awful, but the scar is not as bad as it could be), I highly recommend gifting her a basket with the following vitamin E-rich items: A bottle of Wheat Germ Oil with vitamin E supplement capsules to apply directly to the scar (with instructions to puncture a capsule and apply the oil directly to the scar as desired), and a variety of RAW (not roasted, but raw) nuts and seeds including sunflower seeds, hazel nuts, and almonds, plus mangoes, avocados, broccoli, a small bottle of organic wheat germ oil and a small bottle of sunflower oil, and some organic spinach. All these food items are rich in the entire family of 8 types or forms of vitamin E, which are necessary for a complete balanced vitamin E consumption.
My plastic surgeon told me to apply the vitamin E oil from supplement capsules to my 3rd degree burn scars at least 3 times per day to reduce scarring. Of course this was after the skin had healed beyond the open wounds stage. That was when I was 10 years old. Later after surgery on my feet many years later, my nutritionist gave me organic wheat germ oil capsules for the same purpose to apply and rub into the scars on my feet to reduce scarring. As someone whose skin keloids, I can attest to the fact that the vitamin E oil did greatly reduce the scarring and this is why I highly recommend gifting these items to burn survivors.
