Types of Burns

Burns are categorized into first, second, and third degrees.

• First Degree Burns – are superficial burns that are caused on the top layer of skin. Symptoms of the first-degree burn are redness of the skin and sensitivity to touch.  The skin will appear blanched when light pressure is applied.
• Second Degree Burns – are partial-thickness burns and affect the outer layer and the underlying layer of skin. The symptoms of this burn are redness, pain, swelling, and blisters.  It usually takes three to four weeks for these burns to heal and they may leave a scar.  I
• Third Degree Burns – are full-thickness burns that tear down all layers of skin.  They affect the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, causing charring of skin or translucent white color, with coagulated vessels visible just below the skin surface.

A burn injury is one of the most painful injuries that a person can experience.  Millions of people are burned each year, and of these, thousands will die.

Many victims require specialized hospitalization or long-term care for complications.  Skin grafts, deformities, dexterity problems, and scarring may require extensive therapy.
