how long does it take for 2nd degree burns to heal
Treatment will depend on your childâs symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is. A second-degree burn usually heals in 2 to 3 weeks, as long as the wound is kept clean and protected. Deep second-degree burns may take longer to heal. Treatment may include: A wet cloth soaked with cold water (cold compress) held to the skin, to ease pain.
