If the burn from ironing is red and swollen, it’s likely a superficial burn and should heal in 7–14 days. Scarring depends on how deep the burn is: • Superficial burns usually heal without scars. • Deeper burns can lead to pigmentation changes or scarring.
Next Steps
Cool the area with running water,, and avoid popping blisters. And it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for an appropriate medicated ointment
Health Tips
If there is signs of infection, see a dermatologist immediately
