Types of Burn Injuries
Burns are classified by severity and cause. Understanding the type of burn you’ve suffered is necessary to help determine the appropriate medical treatment. Below is some general information regarding burn injuries, but a medical professional is best to consult to understand and diagnose the full nature and extent of your burn injuries.
By Degree of Severity
- First-Degree Burns: Affect only the outer layer of skin (epidermis). These are typically minor but still painful.
- Second-Degree Burns: Damage both the outer and underlying layers of skin, often causing blisters, swelling, and scarring.
- Third-Degree Burns: Penetrate all layers of the skin and may affect nerves, muscles, and bones. These burns often require skin grafts and long-term rehabilitation.
- Fourth-Degree Burns: The most severe, extending into muscle and bone, often resulting in permanent disability or fatality.
By Cause
- Thermal Burns: Caused by fire, hot liquids, steam, or hot objects.
- Electrical Burns: Result from contact with electrical currents, often causing internal injuries.
- Chemical Burns: Caused by exposure to strong acids, alkalis, or other corrosive substances.
- Radiation Burns: Often from prolonged exposure to UV rays or radiation therapy.
- Friction Burns: Caused by skin rubbing against a rough surface, such as in motorcycle or road accidents.
