What Are the Different Degrees of Burn Injuries?

“Degrees” are used to denote the severity of a burn. Typically, three to four degrees of damage are acknowledged by medical professionals and courts.

The classifications of burns and their effects are as follows:

  • First degree: The least severe kind of burn only affects the outer layer of the skin. First degree burns may be painful and cause the skin to turn red, but rarely cause lasting or permanent damage. An example is a mild sunburn.
  • Second degree: Second degree burns damage the outer layer of your skin as well the dermis, the secondary layer underneath. These typically cause blisters and make the skin appear bright red, swollen, and shiny. The most serious of these burns can cause scarring but otherwise should result in no serious long-term effects.
  • Third degree: This type of burn destroys two full layers of the skin and may make the affected area appear black, brown, white, or yellow in color. There is usually no pain because this type of burn damages nerve endings. Also known as a “full-thickness burn,” third degree burns can cause permanent damage and disfigurement.
  • Fourth degree: Fourth degree burns are the most severe classification of burn injuries. These burns destroy all layers of the skin, as well as the bones, muscles, and tendons underneath. Fourth degree burns are often life-threatening.

There are also numerous types of burns, such as:

  • Chemical burns
  • Cold burns (frostbite)
  • Electrical burns
  • Friction burns
  • Radiation burns
  • And more
