Can you tell me how i can prevent sunburn from scarring?

Rare: It is extremely rare to develop scarring from a typical sun burn. It is only deep second degree and third degree burns that scar - to have that, you would have had to have blistered quite significanlty, and perhaps even have been admitted to a burn unit. Is this the case?
