Patient's question:
A superficial second-degree to deep second-degree burn around the chin to the area around the navel, covering 18% of the body, should I go to the hospital? If I go to the hospital for treatment, how long will it take to heal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: Regarding the symptoms uploaded by Ding Jun, especially the area around the chin should be a second-degree burn, which may lead to scarring. Currently, treatment and observation can only be done for large areas of deep second-degree thermal burns. This is quite serious and requires timely treatment to avoid secondary infection. If it's severe, skin grafting treatment may be necessary. It's still best to go to the hospital for a check-up.
