Why do small burn injuries leave a more permanent scar on the skin than scrapes or scratches?
In: Biology
Scrapes and scratches can leave scars too. Anyone who has ever had a kitten will know how real the struggle is.
Burns simply do a lot more damage, usually over a wider area, meaning the scarring is worse. Boiling water for example, continues doing damage to the affected tissue for a considerable period of time if the affected area is not cooled down quickly and in the correct way, causing even more damage.
