Types of Burn Injuries
The amount of pain and scarring a burn injury can cause will depend on the type of burn a victim has suffered. Burns can lead to swelling, blistering, scarring, and even death. The main types of burn injuries include:
- First degree – These are the most general types of burns and can cause minor pain and redness of the skin.
- Second degree – These burns can cause painful blisters and lead to some scars.
- Third-degree – A third-degree burn can damage and destroy deep layers of the skin and tissue underneath, which can cause scars and the shortening or hardening of muscles in the affected area.
- Fourth degree – The most serious burn degree can destroy the skin, muscle, and bone. A fourth-degree burn may lead to an amputation, functional impairment, and possibly death.
Furthermore, in relation to a burn injury, victims may suffer inhalation injuries after breathing in toxic fumes. Some common signs of inhalation injuries include irritated sinuses, a scratchy throat, chest pain, and more.
Treatment for a burn injury will depend on the type of burn, how deep it is, and how much of the body was affected. It is imperative that victims of burn injuries receive medical aid as soon as possible.
