Degrees of Burn Injuries

 

First Degree Burns

First degree burns are the least severe of the three types of burns discussed.  These types of injuries result in irritated and red skin as a result of damage to the skin.  While the skin is not broken in these types of burns, they are often painful and take a few days to heal.

 

Second Degree Burns

These are more severe as the tissue is effected underneath the skin in addition to the outer skin.  Typically, second degree burn injuries may result in the opening of the skin or blistering of the outer skin.  As the inner layer of skin is effected, damage can be more visible than a first degree burn injury.

 

Third Degree Burns

Third degree burn injuries are the most severe types of burns.  Such burns often result in the total damage of the epidermis (outer layer), dermis (second layer) and subcutaneous (third layer) of tissue.  These types of burns are often described as charring or leather-like.  Since the entire tissue in the area has been damaged and burned, these is not as much pain involved however the recovery and skin grafting surgery to repair the damage can be painful and lengthy.
