Post-burn abnormalities include contractures, depigmentation, hyperpigmentation, and loss of a piece of an organ or tissue, such the lips and pinna. Allowing a serious burn of the second or third degree to heal normally could lead to anomalies. This could lead to modest to extremely severe contractures of the affected body parts, depending on the location and size of the burned area as well as how long it takes for the lesion to heal. These kinds of crippling anomalies are possible. To fix these anomalies, one or more procedures can be required. For the treatment, long-term physiotherapy is also required.
