Everyone would have the same burn scar sort of like how older Belters in the Expanse universe have burn scars from shorting wires inside old vac suits.
I'm about to get pedantic.
Those scars were not the result of faulty wiring. Early belter space suits were built cheaply, often without proper insulation, especially around the mating area of the helmet. The suits would heat up in the sunlight, but without an atmosphere (and thus convection), wouldn't be able to cool down, and would burn the unprotected skin. Heat management is also why contemporary EVA suits are white.
The extreme version is the sick design from Sunlight.
