A member asked:
I've got a burn scar that's a "dent" and is discolored. did it most likely come from a 1st or 2nd degree burn?

Deep 2nd or 3rd: Superficial second degree and first degree burns usually regenerate and heal with minimal loss of the dermis. If your wound is depressed, the scar likely extended to the deep dermis or superficial subcutaneous tissues.
