Hello. Burns can be of various degrees. The sequealae depends on the depth of the burns and surface area if covers. Burns over the ventral or the palmar aspect of hand usually heal very well. Superficial burns heal within week to 10 days and do not leave a mark. Grade 2/Grade 3 burns take longer and may leave some scarring. Do send pics and consult online for a detailed discussion.
