Chemical burns may be the result of contact with a dangerous product or inhalation of fumes.
Scalding injuries may occur due to contact with extremely hot water coming from a tap or from a hot beverage.
Electrical burns can occur when a current passes through a body. This type of injury may be the result of a defective product. It also can occur at the workplace.
Burns can range in degrees from first to fourth
Burn injuries are categorized by degree:- First degree - Less serious burns that may include minor pain and redness of the skin
- Second degree - Burns causing blisters and superficial destruction of the dermis
- Third degree - Burns that extend into the deeper tissue, causing destruction of both the epidermis and the dermis
