Burn Healing: If you still have a crust at 2 weeks, the burn there is either a deep second degree or third degree. Treatment is simply to keep it from getting infected and allowing it enough time for the body to heal it. There is essentially nothing else that has been proven to improve healing or the eventual scar. See someone if it starts thickening over time as this can be treated.
