You can say whatever—like, for example, you could have burned yourself with a flat iron.

I have a burn on my arm from when my hubby was ironing my hair. It was actually the night he proposed and I was getting ready to go out for dinner. Had to stop at the chemist first to buy some burn stuff. 18 years later and I still have the scar.
Working in the kitchen, I touch the grill with the side of my palm. The burn mark stayed for half a year.
And if we're talking about "burns," I don't know, that would depend on the context.
While pulling a hot tray of cookies out of the oven my friend came up behind me and branded the back of my arm. Instant 3rd degree burn. I still have the scar over 20 years later.
It was when I was baking cookies and when I was taking them out of the oven someone scared me and I threw the pan in the air and my gloves came of and the I caught the pan with my bare hands and it hurt like I was touching the sun. I had to go to the doctor and had to wear a bandage for a week and it hurt every day luckily I can use my hands to type this. goodbye
I got 2nd degree burns from the sun in Kenya! We had just arrived and were transferring to our camp when our open roof jeep broke down in the middle of nowhere. Our clothes and equipment were in another vehicle that caught up with us about 2 hours later, by then I was crisp! My shaved head and shoulders still have the scars!
