Varies: Second degree burns can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks depending on the depth of the burn the location on the body and the individuals ability to heal. The longer it takes to heal the more likely it is to leave permanent scars. If the burn is bigger than the size of your hand or is on your hands, feet or face or if there is any signs of infection i would consult a doctor.
