What happens to the skin after a burn depends on the degree of the burn. In a first degree burn, the skin is red and inflamed. In a second degree burn, the skin is red and blotchy with blisters. A third degree burn damages skin tissue and may also affect fat, bone and muscle.

That is why it is so important to distinguish between the degrees of a burn.
A 3d degree burn destroys the skin, and damages the tissue underlying the skin, and new skin will not easily form again. Skin graft is the best approach.
a 2nd degree burn involves significant damage to the skin itself, but little to the underlying tissue.
A 1st degree burn affects only the surface layer of skin, and it would abrade off in the usual way, so that doesn't matter, apart from the pain.
In the case of any burn, lots of cold water for several minutes, for heat absorbed into the tissue is slow to dissipate. Lots of cold water.
