- First-degree burns: These are the mildest type of burns, affecting only the outer layer of skin (epidermis). They are characterized by redness, minor swelling, and pain. Sunburns are a common example of first-degree burns.
- Second-degree burns: These burns affect both the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and the layer underneath (dermis). They are characterized by redness, blistering, severe pain, and swelling. These burns can result from exposure to hot liquids, flames, or chemicals.
- Third-degree burns: These are the most severe type of burns, affecting all layers of the skin and possibly underlying tissues, muscles, and bones. They are characterized by a white or charred appearance, numbness, and severe pain. Third-degree burns require immediate medical attention and may result from prolonged exposure to flames, chemicals, or electricity.
