Understanding The Degrees Of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are categorized by degree, according to their level of severity, as follows:

  • First-degree burns are the least serious. They affect only the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis), leaving the lower layer intact. Still, they can cause superficial damage, including blistering and redness.
  • Second-degree burns impact the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) and reach partially into the lower layer (the dermis).
  • Third-degree burns impact both layers of skin (the epidermis and the dermis). Depending on their size, they may cause extensive damage, requiring skin grafts.
  • Fourth-degree burns are the most serious. They reach below the skin, destroying nerves, muscles, tendons, ligaments and even bone. They are life-threatening, and those who do survive require extensive reconstructive surgery.

The severity of the burn injury also depends on its size. Second or third degree burns can be devastating when they affect a large percentage of the body. Fourth-degree burns impacting a large portion of the body are tragically often fatal.
