BURNS PROGNOSIS |
|
|
|
The prognosis is dependent upon the
degree of the burn, the amount of body surface covered, whether
critical body parts were affected, any additional injuries or
complications like infection, and the promptness of medical
treatment. Minor burns may heal in 5-10 days with no scarring.
Moderate burns may heal in 10-14 days and may leave scarring.
Critical or major burns take more than 14 days to heal and will
leave significant scarring. Scar tissue may limit mobility and
functionality, but physical therapy may overcome these limitations.
In some cases, additional surgery may be advisable to remove scar
tissue and restore appearance. |
