Scar take a long time to resolve and there may always be a residual scar. Silicone cremes and patches have been found to reduce scarring. If significant sometimes laser , pulse dye light therapy ,cryosurgery or steroids are used. It takes 6-12 weeks at times longer depends on size, depth, age, health . https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/injured-skin/burns/wound-care-minimize-scars
