Can a sexond degree burn look like a first degree after a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A newly-healed 2nd-degree burn will be dry and red (erythematous). That would look like a red 1st-degree burn. This immature scar will change over a few months and blanche out to a white mature scar.
