Burns cause your cells to die, after which the skin produces a fibrous protein to repair itself. This fibre is called collagen. As your skin heals, it leaves discolored patches of skin on the wounded area. These areas are usually thick and are what we call scars. Depending on the depth of the burn, these scars may be temporary and sometimes even permanent.
