Common Types of Burns and How To Treat Them
Burns occur when the skin is damaged by exposure to a heat source, and most burns fall into three categories known as “degrees” which help us rank the level of tissue damage.

1st-degree burns affect the top layer of skin known as the epidermis. These burns (ie. sunburns, small scalds) do very minor damage and usually respond well to first-aid at home.
2nd-degree burns reach the second layer of skin, called the dermis. These burns usually heal within 1-3 weeks and are very painful. The treatment may vary and may involve ointments and creams. Sometimes surgery is required in the case of very deep burns. The burn site might look red, blistered, and swollen.
3rd-degree and more severe burns damage both layers of the skin and may also damage the underlying bones, muscles, and tendons. Treatment is usually skin graft surgery. If a graft is performed, the burn victim will be placed under general anesthesia. The damaged skin is then removed and replaced with healthy skin taken from an unaffected area. When this treatment is used in these extreme cases, the recovery time is dramatically reduced.
If you have questions about the extent of your injuries and the best treatment options, have a conversation with your care providers. They will be able to answer questions specific to your case. Some burn victims will experience multiple degrees of damage across the same general area, so your treatment plan will be customized to your specific needs.
