Common Types of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are generally categorized into three distinct types, based on the depth of skin damage and the severity of the injury.

• First-Degree Burns: The mildest form, first-degree burns affect only the outermost layer of the skin. Symptoms typically include redness, pain, and minor swelling.
• Second-Degree Burns: These burns go deeper, reaching the dermis—the second layer of the skin. They often manifest as red, white, or blotchy skin with significant swelling and blistering.
• Third-Degree Burns: The most severe category, third-degree burns extend through all layers of the skin and may damage underlying tissues. The affected area may appear dry and leathery, with colors ranging from white and brown to black.

Burns can also be classified as electrical, chemical, or thermal burns.
