Hey Everyone!
On Sunday my girlfriend got a pretty bad burn on her hand when she was using some very hot water. The skin was initially a dark red (no blisters) but over the past few days it has turned purple (like a bruise color). The burn covers a pretty large portion of the top of her hand. She saw a doctor on Tuesday and she said it was going through the normal healing process.
I felt better after hearing that, but I would like to know if someone could tell me what stages the skin goes through when healing from a burn. I would like to be able to keep an eye out for any possible complications that could occur during the healing process. Thanks for the help!
