What Are Burn Wounds

Burn wounds are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation.

The severity of a burn can vary, and proper care is important to ensure healing and prevent long-term damage.

Types and Severity of Burns

Burns are categorized based on how deeply they affect the skin.

  • First-degree burns: Affect the outer layer of skin and may cause redness and mild pain

  • Second-degree burns: Affect deeper layers and may cause blistering and swelling

  • Third-degree burns: Extend through multiple layers of skin and may require advanced care

More severe burns often require specialized treatment to heal properly.

Symptoms and Warning Signs

Burn wounds can present with a range of symptoms depending on severity.

Signs may include:

  • Redness or discoloration

  • Blisters or open wounds

  • Swelling and tenderness

  • Drainage or signs of infection

  • Delayed healing

If a burn is not improving or worsening, it is important to seek medical care.
