Probably. Just take care of it [[ neosporin, bandages, etc ]], and it shouldn't be too horrible.

I think as long as you iced it right away, you should be fine, but your skin tone will depend on things as well.

To help reduce the scar, I'd clean it and put Neosporin Plus on it and leave it alone. That's helped me. Can you tell I work at McDonald's?? LOL Good luck!

Ooh believe me buddy. You're gonna have a scar. It probably won't be that noticeable depending on your skin type. I've got burns up and down my arms from various ovens ranging from 250 degrees to 500. A doctor isn't really needed just get some burn cream and wrap that puppy up. And Remember that chicks dig scars.

I burned my arm on the oven rack of a 350 degre oven about 4 years ago and I still have a scar. It's not that noticable though, because once it was healed I rubbed it at least 3 times a day with cocoa butter lotion. Cocoa butter helps to reduced the redness of a scar. Hope I helped!

Put some aloe plant on it, the juice from the plant helps the blistering go down so it doesn't make a scar!

Umm...put some ice on your burn right now! And then, put some medication on it! You may have a scar, but after you put on the medication put on scar-free ointment =)

xXxpinky615xXx answered Monday September 20 2004, 6:39 pm:
yes it will scar. i did the same thing when i made brownies. it blisters. DO NOT POP IT!!!! it stings like a bitch... water will come out of it eventually just keep a bandaid over it for now so in case it pops there is something over it so it won't get infected.

MFS answered Monday September 20 2004, 6:36 pm:
If the burn is bad enough, go to the ER... the reason I say this is a 2nd degree burn can get infected if bad enough. If it covers a large area, you want to get someone to look at it ASAP.

If it hasn't popped, DO NOT POP THE BLISTER!

Take great care to keep the area as clean as possible, and very carefully and gently wrap the area to keep it protected.

DO NOT POP THE BLISTER! That is how infection gets in.

Again, if the blister is large, and especially if it has also popped, go see a doctor soon - do not risk infection.

I don't think you will have a scar. You should run it under cold water, and apply toothpaste to it. the mint and the bakingsoda in toothpaste soothe the burn and cool it down. never ever use butter, you will basically "frying" your burn if you do.
