umm my cousin is about 5-6 years old and she was playing around with the electric boiling pot. she got burned on both hands. As soon as her parents saw it they put ice on it. Then they brought her to the doctor said it is a second degree burn and they gave them some cream for it. WIthin a few hours blisters started to appear. Then they put aloe, and the cream that the doctor gave then on her hand. After a few days her sister popped her blister by accident. I want to know whould it leave a scar. And another thing her skin is wrinkly, I want to know would it stay like that, if it would stay like that what can they do to make it not wrinkly.
Be sure to keep the area clean, dry and apply anitbiotic oinment daily. Since she’s young if she has scaring it may be temporary as her skin is still growing and in a very supple state which helps to reduce the scaring. By the time she’s older any marks from this burn are likely to fade. Her parents need to be sure to take care not to allow the area to become infected.

The wrinkly and blistered skin should eventually die and fall off. She may have scars but not because her sister accidentally popped a blister. It’s just the nature of burns. Poor baby, she must be in such pain.

The wrinkles are just dead skin that is still attached. Use the cream the Dr. gave you on the sores. Keep the area as clean as you can. Chances are she may have a scar, but being so young it will disappear with time.

Calm down, It’s normal. I’ve burnt the side of my wrisy with hot glue when I was 4 then a few days later it went all wrinkly.
Don’t worry that’s the cause of burnt skin and don’t worry your cousin is onoy going to get a scar
