Is The Scarring Caused By Second Degree Burns Lifelong?
HI...my toddler was scalded and suffered deep second degree burns, she developed thick hypertrophic scarring using a compression garment. I thought compression was to prevent thick scarring? WIll she be scarred for life or will the scarring noticably improve?

hi, scarring caused by second degree burns usually persist lifelong, but it continues to fade has the child grows. You should apply scar and cream 2 times a day for 6 months, it will help in fading the scar. Take care.
