Extract:
"Aiden Kelly suffered horrific burns when the pressurised can exploded as he leaned over a campfire.
The 15 year old's hair and face were set alight leaving him covered in scabs which doctors feared would never heal.
But now his skin has grown back - and to his delight he has lost his distinctive freckles.
Aiden, from Havant, Hants, said: "I think it's turned out quite well actually.
"I really wanted to get rid of the freckles before because I didn't think they looked very good. Then I got burnt - and this was the upside to it.
"I could have ended up with a lot of scars all over my face, but now it looks as though it never even happened.""
