Disease/Condition Glossary
Burns: Burns are common household injuries that damage the skin or deeper tissues and cause the death of affected skin cells. Based on the severity of skin damage, burns are categorized into three main types, namely, first-degree (also known as superficial burns, which cause minimal damage to the skin), second-degree (extends beyond the top layer of skin and causes blisters), and third-degree burns (most severe burns extending through every layer of skin). Burns may be caused by excessive sun exposure, electricity, chemicals, hot boiling liquids, and fires, including flames from candles, matches, or lighters.
