Do 2nd degree burns leave scars?

Maybe: You will get the best result by keeping the area moisturized (cheap - no smell, no color is best) and out of the sun or thoroughly blocked. Final result is at least one year.

Possibly: Deeper second degree burns can have delayed healing, can leave scars, and may even need a skin graft to get them closed.
