If you have a scab then chanches are high that you will have a scar. It will take about 2 weeks to heal, as long as you dont pick at the scab;

I burnt myself with straightners the other week. it blistered first and now it is now a scab. The scab is starting to peel off now and i can see a red line underneath. Yes it will scar but after 6 months the scar won't be as dark as it was when you first burnt yourself. I would say 2-4 weeks.

It might scar. Be sure to leave the scab alone-don't pick at it the way some do-that could make it scar. As far as the healing process, that will depend on how big the wound is, how well you take care of it and even on your own immune system.

As you are so Young and the burn area relatively small the scarring will be very minor and will fade away before too long .just keep the site clean and as dry as you can until the scab falls off on its own

I cant answer whether you will have a scar, however by applying Lavender essential oil neat to the wound (providing it isnt weeping) regularly, it will help reduce and could even prevent scarring. Lavender oil is cheap to buy and can be purchased at Boots and other herbal shops.
One last thing, dont be tempted to pick at the scab as this could probably leave a scar

Yes but the scar will go away with time by applying a bit of olive oil everyday.!!!
Don't pick the scab let it stay on as long as possible that also helps limiting the size of the scar.!!!

the healing of 2nd degree burn can take up to 6 weeks to heal fully but can be as little as 3 . with 2nd degree burn you can never be sure if i will scar it is v hard to tell with out seeing it over a few weeks

It could leave a scar. Use vitamin E oil or lotion and leave the scab alone.

if your wound is not infected then healing might take 2-4 weeks depending on the severity. yes , there will be scarring like a hyperpigmented patch.
