Question

What’s the difference between the degrees of burns and how would you tell them apart?

In:

Answer 1

Burns are categorized into 3 degrees

1st degree: red + hot + painful + usually heals with no scar
-think superficial epidermis layer

2nd degree: white + painful + USUALLY blisters + longterm scar (hyperpigmentation)
-think slightly deeper dermis layer

3rd degree: white + NOT painful
-think all the way down to the nerve level and you basically fry your sensory nerves
-Need medical intervention because you are likely to get a really bad bacterial infection in the skin or blood (sepsis)
