You should visit the burn ward at a hospital sometime....

Scrubbing might not be the correct term, but removal of dead skin is typically a step in the process of treating a burn. I'm not familiar with treatment of it in snakes, but I am familiar with treatment of 3rd degree burns in humans. It's not the burn that hurts. It's the healing afterwards.

There are so many different approaches to treating burns in snakes. I'll just stay out of it for now, but with the common note to keep the area from getting too dry as it heals. Just like long soaks aren't ideal, neither is drying the area out completely.
