I burned my face with a curling iron 2 days ago and it left a red brownish mark , there was no blister but how can i let it heal without scarring ?

Burn: although it is difficult to determine without actually seeing the area, if it didn't blister it is likely superficial enough that it isn't likely to scar. It may remain pink for several weeks as it fades. Keep it out of sun or wear sunscreen to prevent hyper pigmentation. If it is raw at all apply antibiotic ointment. Good luck.
