There is generally no scarring, but the pigmentation of the burned area may change. A deep partial thickness burn is characterized by pain and whiteness in the area of the burn. This type of burn leaves a scar. Third Degree Burns: This type of burn damages all the layers of the skin.
Retinal neovascularization: Formation of new blood vessels originating from the retinal veins and extending along the inner (vitreal) surface of the retina.
As the photoreceptor and RPE cells slowly degenerate, there is a tendency for blood vessels to grow from their normal location in the choroid into an abnormal location beneath the retina. This abnormal new blood vessel growth is called choroidal neovascularization (CNV).
