Burns are classified into three degrees according to their death.
In first-degree burns, the damage is limited to the outer layer of the skin with redness, warmth, and tenderness.
In second-degree burns, the injury goes through the outer layer and involves the deeper skin and tissues, forming blebs and blisters.
In third-degree burns, the entire skin is destroyed and a charred layer of scarred tissue is exposed.
The area involved in the burn is of great importance. When it covers over one-third to one-half of the body, the result is usually fatal, especially in children.
In addition to fire, Burns may be caused by contact with hot objects such as irons and kitchen utensils, electric stoves, and heaters, scalding with hot water or oil, excessive exposure to direct sunlight, etc. The most serious effect of excessive burn is Shock.
