The results of the project were found to be significant in terms of post-burn itching providing evidence of hypertrophic scar management and contributing to ongoing studies is expected to be found. Since there are no similar studies in the literature, a preliminary study with 24 patient applications will be made. In line with the data obtained from the pre-application, the sample calculation will be made and the application will continue by making the necessary arrangements. Patients will be divided into experimental and control groups by simple randomization. All patient groups individual data collection forms on the first day; 12 individual data collection forms on the first day, 15th day, first, second, and third months Itemized Itch Severity Scale, Patient and Observer Scar Scale to be applied in Burn Patients and the wound area will be photographed. Patients in the control group will be given no application will be made. Liquid petroleum jelly and olive oil group before the study training will be given and they will massage the recommended product twice a day for 3 months and will be asked to record them. The data obtained at the end of the project will be statistically analyzed and results will be presented.
