Skin is composed of two layers, epidermis and dermis and the degree of burn is determined by the damaged caused in these layers. The burns are classified into three degrees, <u>first degree burn, second degree burn and third degree burn</u> according to the tissue involvement.

Further Explanation:

Burns are categorized into different groups <u>based on how deeply the skin has been damaged</u>. The cause of burn can be friction burn, cold burn, thermal burn and radiation burn.

The burns are classified into three degrees which are,

1. First degree burn – First degree burns are mostly caused by sun radiations which <u>involve the epidermal layer of the skin</u>. They are marked with slight edema, pain and redness. They take few days to heal and sometimes leaves scar.

2. Second degree burn – The other name of second degree burn is partial thickness burn because of the <u>involvement of the epidermis and a small part of dermis</u>. This may cause red, tan or white skin, blisters and are painful. The healing may take few weeks to months and sometimes leave scars.

3. Third degree burns – It is commonly called full thickness burn because the <u>complete destruction of epidermis and dermis is observed</u>. In severe cases deeper tissues are also involved. Since dermis is completely damaged so the regeneration process of skin starts from the edge of the skin.

The symptoms of the burns are depends upon the cause and type of burn such as <u>red and charred skin is marked in first degree burns</u> whereas <u>blisters and peeling of skin is caused in second degree of burns</u>.
