What should I do if I get burned?

Patient's question:

11:17 PM on November 17th, I got a burn. I want to ask the doctor how to treat it, will it leave a scar, and do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? If it needs treatment, how long will it take to heal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question: Whether there will be scars after a burn mainly depends on the severity of the burn, as well as whether it causes secondary infection afterward. Currently, it's not visible from the photos. The degree of the burn is important—if it's a first-degree burn, it might not leave a scar, but second and third-degree burns could potentially leave scars. It's recommended to seek timely treatment based on the symptoms. I hope my reply is helpful to you.
