Patient's question:
Last night at 6:30 PM, I accidentally burned both wrists at home. There are blisters and some skin peeling. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: Last night, I went to the hospital and had a doctor treat it and re-bandage it. What kind of assistance do you need: My child is a girl, and the injury is in a dark place, so I'm worried about scarring. Hello, how can it be prevented from scarring? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
As per your description, the child has a second-degree burn on the skin. Whether the burn will leave a scar depends primarily on the depth of the wound and whether it becomes infected. If it is not infected, a superficial second-degree burn generally will not leave a scar, although there may be some hyperpigmentation.Advice: Hello, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice actively, prevent the wound from getting wet, visit the hospital for dressing changes on schedule, and use antibiotics as prescribed. If it is a superficial second-degree burn, it is highly unlikely to leave a scar. You can check the child's medical record for details about the depth of the burn. I hope my explanation helps you.
