Question
Today, my two-year-old baby accidentally got burned on the face by hot water, and I am very worried. Will a child’s burn leave a scar? What can be done to reduce the likelihood of scarring? The child is currently being treated in the hospital, with no skin breakage, just small blisters.
Answer
A child’s burn may leave some pigmentation, but over time, the pigmentation will gradually fade. If the treatment method is normal and there is no infection, scars should not form. It is recommended to go to a public hospital for a check-up, treat the wound, and apply moist burn ointment for treatment. Actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, prevent infection, promote early recovery, and reduce the formation of scars. Avoid spicy foods that may irritate.
