A member asked:
Could cigarette burns turn into a scar or can it heal normally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on how deep the burn is. If the wound base is pink and moist, then it's most likely a 2nd degree burn. If the wound base is white or leathery, then it's a 3rd degree burn. Deeper injuries will produce scars.
