burns information
Burns are a form of injury to the body that causes tissue damage. Burns are rated based upon their severity. First-degree burns, or common household burns, are those that would be considered minor. A second-degree burn will affect both the first and second layer of skin (also known as the dermis) causing blisters to form. The skin’s color will redden or become “splotchy”. These burns can produce more severe pain than first-degree burns, along with swelling. Third-degree burns are those most likely to occur in serious fires or chemical spills, either in the home or industrial areas. The deepest layer of the skin is destroyed along with the tissues underneath the skin.
