What Is Considered a Burn Injury?
A burn injury occurs when a person is exposed to extreme heat or flames. The severity of the burn injury is often determined by the depth of the burn and the percentage of the victim's body that is affected.
Burn injuries are typically classified into four categories:
- First-degree burns involve only the outer layer of the skin and cause redness, pain, and/or minor swelling.
- Second-degree burns affect the outer and inner layers of the skin and cause blistering.
- Third-degree burns affect the outer, middle, and/or inner layers of the skin and cause charred skin and/or tissue.
- Fourth-degree burns affect all layers of the skin, the fat below the skin, and/or the muscle below the fat and cause severe damage to the body.
Burn injuries can also be caused by exposure to chemicals, electricity, and/or ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
