Most likely, if it is a first or second degree burn, it will heal on its own without scarring. Depending on your skin type, you may however develop darkening of the skin after the burn, called post inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. This can be prevented by use of sunblock and Retin A and bleaching creams. My advice is to consult with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
