How long will my 2nd degree burn take to be healed?

2-3 weeks: Depending on area involved and whether deep partial thickness or more superficial, roughly 2-3 weeks. If more, was probably a deeper burn or other issues involved.

Depends: On the severity of the burn. I wld say probably several weeks for complete epithelialization of the skin and then months for everything to heal completely.
