Hello,

Development of scar depends on the depth of the burn. In case the burn is superficial, the scar will fade away in a few days.

If the burn is deep enough, the scar may not fade away soon.

You can take cosmetic treatment in the form of a laser to lighten the scar.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
