Patient's question:
My son was scalded by boiling water on the back of his hand and wrist, with skin peeling and several blisters. He has already been treated with medication. I am overly worried. Could you please tell me if my child's condition will leave scars and what precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Dear, if there are blisters after a burn, it is a superficial second-degree burn. Such a condition usually heals completely in about half a month, and there is generally no scar. Of course, if the burn is deeper, there will definitely be a scar or hyperpigmentation. Now, what we need to do is to regularly apply burn ointment to our child. If the burn is relatively deep, there will certainly be a scar or hyperpigmentation, so now what needs to be done is to apply burn treatment medication to the child regularly.
