Types of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are classified based on the severity of tissue damage and depth of the burn. There are three distinct burn classifications:

  • First degree burn: This classification applies to burns that only affect the surface of the skin, causing swelling, redness and mild to moderate pain.
  • Second degree burn: These burn injuries are considerably more painful than first degree burns and affect the surface and dermal layers of the skin. Symptoms include redness, swelling, blistering and potential skin loss. In severe cases, a skin graft may be necessary as part of treatment.
  • Third degree burn: This is the most severe classification of a burn injury. All layers of skin are damaged. Bone and connective tissue are affected. Reconstructive surgery is often needed to address the extensive disfigurement associated with these burns.
