How to deal with minor facial burns on a child?

Patient's question:

Hello, the facial burn area of a 7-year-old child is not large, and the wound is currently red. How long does it take for the wound to return to normal color with Yufu cream?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if it's a first-degree burn that only affects the epidermis and not the dermis, proper medication generally will not leave scars and will gradually improve. However, it may take some time for the skin color to fully return to normal. Generally, with proper treatment, it's important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the burned area, avoid infection, and change dressings on time. Around half a month to a month, the skin can gradually return to normal.
