Question
My child got burned. It was a scald burn with blisters. It’s not too severe, and we treated it at a local hospital with good reviews. How long does it usually take to heal?
Answer
Hello. I’m glad to answer your question. Typically, a child’s burn requires about a month to heal. The most important thing at the moment is to prevent infection. The healing time depends on the location, depth of the burn, and the condition of the wound. If there is no infection, mild burns usually do not leave scars. If an infection occurs, it does not extend the recovery time after scar formation. Therefore, preventing infection is very important. In cases of deep second-degree or third-degree burns, skin graft surgery may be required.
