What are the differences between 1st 2nd and 3rd degree burns?

First degree burns only affect the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis. These cause slight swelling and redness and are fairly painful. Second degree burns affect the epidermis and the dermis. These burns are very painful and cause the skin to turn bright red and blister. Third degree burns affect the entire skin, including hair follicles, sweat glands, oil glands, blood vessels, and other structures. These burns aren't painful because even the pain receptors have been damaged, and are often leathery, white, brown, or tan in color.


Describe the different types of burns?

Burns are classified into three main types based on their depth and severity. First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin (epidermis), causing redness and mild pain, like sunburn. Second-degree burns extend into the second layer (dermis), resulting in blisters, swelling, and more intense pain. Third-degree burns penetrate through all skin layers, damaging underlying tissues, and may appear white or charred, often requiring medical treatment and skin grafts.


What the difference between a burn and scald?

A burn is an injury to the skin or other tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation, while a scald specifically refers to a type of burn caused by hot liquids or steam. Burns can be classified by their severity—first, second, or third degree—depending on the depth and extent of tissue damage. Scalds typically result in similar degrees of injury but are exclusively associated with exposure to hot fluids. Proper treatment varies based on the type and severity of the injury.
