Are burn marks purple?

Types of Serious Burn Scars

Burn scars can be classified into three main types. Contracture scars consist of thickened tissue that can restrict movement by tightening the skin, muscles, and tendons. Hypertrophic scars are elevated and can appear in shades of pink, purple, or red. Lastly, Keloid scars are characterized by their raised, shiny appearance and often extend beyond the area that was originally burned.
