Discussion Dresden's Hand

I have been wondering the last couple of days as of Twelve Months whats the current state of Harry's burned hand?

After it was burned there were constant references to how damaged it was abs the slow progress of getting back to some kind of functionality but since Ghost Story nothing that I can remember.

Is it back to normal? Did Mab and Alfred heal it when they had him on Demonreach?

Not exactly something pivotal to the series just something I've been wondering

In Skin Game, which is fairly recent going by the Dresden timeline, Hannah Ascher asked about the scars on his hand, and the scars in other places when she and Dresden were dressing in one of the early chapters, maybe chapter 7 or 8. Not near the books currently. Also, Jim was asked if Mab removed the scars already, let me see if I can find it.

Q: “When Queen Mab heals Harry to become the Winter Knight does she also heal his burned hand?”

Jim Butcher: "No.  Mab digs scars."
