We are constantly reminded about the dangers of getting a sun burn and how it can cause skin cancer, but can other burns (such as from an oven, kettle steam, boiling water) cause skin cancer too?
#Health Absolutely not. Cancer is caused by mutated cells, not burnt cells. Burnt skin cells will grow back quite normally. Damaged, mutated cells which multiply and multiply, and divide and invade healthy tissue, is not the same thing.
