Understanding Burns

Before diving into the specifics of treating burns, it is important to understand the different types and severity levels of burns. Burns are classified into three main categories:

First-Degree Burns: These are superficial burns that affect only the outer layer of the skin, causing redness, mild pain, and swelling. The skin remains intact. Second-Degree Burns: These burns extend beyond the outer layer of the skin, reaching the underlying layers. They cause redness, blistering, intense pain, and swelling. Third-Degree Burns: The most severe type of burn, third-degree burns penetrate all layers of the skin, potentially damaging nerves, muscles, and bones. The affected area may appear white, charred, or blackened.
