Types of Burns

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have categorized three types of burns:

  • First-degree burns – Affect the top layer of skin only. They are typically red, painful to the touch and show mild swelling. First-degree burns usually heal without medical treatment.
  • Second-degree burns – Affect the first two layers of skin. Signs of second-degree burns include a deep reddening of the area, pain, blistering, a glossy appearance with leaking fluid and loss of skin. Second-degree burns can require medical treatment by a trained professional.
  • Third-degree burns – Affect the entire thickness of the skin and destroy tissue. Third-degree burns can result in skin that is dry and leathery, charred or patchy in appearance. There can also be the loss of skin layers. Immediate medical attention by a trained professional is required.

Recovering from burns can be a very difficult and time-consuming process. Construction burns can also be very costly. In addition to the initial treatment of the injury, workers with burn injuries may require reconstructive surgery, skin grafts, physical therapy, occupational therapy, pressure garments, massage and expensive medication.
