scald
Burn with liquid
Scald means to burn with hot liquid or steam: She scalded her hand on the boiling water.
To scald milk is to heat it just below boiling.
The noun is the injury itself—a scald is a burn from hot liquid rather than flame or contact with a hot surface.
Figuratively, scalding criticism or remarks are harshly severe.
