burn scars

Heat damage remnants

Burn scars are the permanent marks left on skin after severe burns heal.

The tissue differs in texture and color from surrounding skin, often appearing raised, tight, or discolored.

Burn scars may limit movement when they form across joints.

In geography, burn scars are areas of land visibly damaged by wildfire, identifiable from satellite imagery by their dark, vegetation-stripped appearance.
