Question
What is a mild second-degree burn?
Answer
A mild second-degree burn refers to a burn that reaches the dermis layer. First-degree burns affect only the epidermis, while third-degree burns extend into the subcutaneous connective tissue and even muscle. Mild second-degree burns can be categorized into mild and severe levels. Treatment includes timely application of scar gel, and the use of scar gel can be stopped once the scab falls off and the wound heals. The healing time varies depending on individual constitution, and whether the redness subsides needs to be observed.
