For how long do serious burns take to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Few days to weeks: 2nd-degree burns will heal on their own in 5 days to 3 weeks. 3rd-degree burns require surgery (skin grafting) for healing, and most burn surgeons will try to get that accomplished within a few weeks of the injury. It takes months or years to deal with the scarring.
