Will a small baby's burn leave a scar?

Patient's question:

The baby picked up the water bottle by himself. The hot water sprayed out from the straw and onto the baby's face, causing blisters. The baby scratched a blister, and the inside turned white. It was washed with sodium chloride and ointmented with Meibao. Will the baby's burn leave a scar?

Doctor's answer:

Your good friend, it depends on the scale of the burn and the treatment of the burn. Once the burn is mild, the burned skin will be red, swollen, and painful, with obvious swelling and pain, accompanied by exudation and edema. Light pressure on the injured area will turn white, but there are no blisters. A second-degree burn is deeper, with blisters on the skin. The base of the blisters is red or white, filled with clear, viscous fluid, tender and sensitive, and it turns white under pressure.
