A member asked:

I've got a raised red puff burn scar on my arm and i've had it for 2 years, what degree of burn is it?

Dr. Barry Press answered

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Doesn't matter: If it is a burn scar. We only know that it was a deep enough burn to leave a scar. If it is a small area, it may be improved in appearance with a minor scar revision. See a surgeon certified by the american board of plastic surgery to see if this is possible or advisable. Good luck!
