Degrees of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can be minor or severe. Treating a burn depends on the degree. There are three categories of burn injuries:

  • First-degree burns — First-degree burns affect the outer layer of the skin.
  • Second-degree burns — Second-degree burns extend deeper into the tissue. These are often associated with blistering, and are usually not serious and heal within a matter of weeks.
  • Third-degree burns — Third-degree burns are the most serious burn injury. In third-degree burns, a victim’s skin and underlying tissue is damaged. Third-degree burn victims are left with permanent scarring. In the most severe cases, fire and chemical burns can result in death.
