Patient's question:
Child burned by hot water. Boiled water burn. Blisters appeared. It's not too serious, so I treated it at a local hospital with good reviews. How long will it take to heal?Doctor's answer:
Hello. I am happy to answer for you. These children's conditions need about a month. Now it is mainly to prevent infection. This depends on the burn location, burn depth, and wound healing. Is there an infection? Mild burns usually do not leave scars. If infected, it does not increase the time after scar formation. So the most important thing is to prevent infection. Deep 2nd or 3rd-degree burns may require skin grafting.
