Burn injuries vary in severity and often require specialized medical care. Common types of burns include:

  • Friction burns

Burns are typically classified by degree:

  • First-degree burns – damage to the outer layer of skin
  • Second-degree burns – damage extending into deeper skin layers
  • Third-degree burns – severe tissue damage affecting nerves and muscles
  • Fourth-degree burns – damage extending into bone and underlying structures

Severe burns often result in permanent injury and long-term disability.
