Question
My baby was burned by a hot glue gun yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s an epidermal or dermal layer injury. Will there be a scar, and how long will it take to heal?
Answer
Based on the symptoms, it seems the injury has reached the dermal layer. Pay attention to skin hygiene, as there might be a scar. If there is a dermal layer burn, it’s recommended to check with a hospital promptly to see if there is a dermal layer burn. Also, keep a close observation of your child’s condition. I hope my response is helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby good health.
