Will children with burns leave scars?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? I ask if children's burns will leave scars.

Doctor's answer:

It may leave scars because generally, first-degree burns and superficial second-degree burns do not leave scars but may result in hyperpigmentation. However, deep second-degree burns or third-degree burns will leave scars. Superficial second-degree burns can transform into deep second-degree burns and form scars under the condition of infection. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
