Answer 1

Any time your skin is damaged badly enough, your body panics and repairs it as quickly as possible to prevent infection, stop bleeding, etc. This rapid repair mechanism creates strong rugged scar tissue, rather than the slower, more careful process of replacing it with normal skin. A minor burn can heal without a scar, but a bad burn will trigger the scarring response.
