burn scar

Heat injury mark

A burn scar is the mark left on skin after a burn heals, often with altered texture, color, or elasticity.

In environmental contexts, a burn scar is the visible area of landscape damaged by wildfire, identifiable by charred vegetation and bare soil: Satellite imagery revealed the burn scar stretching across thousands of acres.
