burn mark
Charred surface evidence
A burn mark is a discolored area left on a surface by heat or flame.
Burn marks appear on skin after contact with hot objects, on fabric from irons, on wood from cigarettes, or on cookware from overheating: The pan left a burn mark on the counter.
The term emphasizes the visible trace rather than the injury itself.
