Burns There are three types of burns: first, second and third degrees. This categorization of burns is in relation to the layers of skin affected by the heating element. A first degree burn is a mild burn on the first layer of skin, or epidermis. A second degree burn has occurred once the first and second layers of the skin are damaged, and a third degree burn occurs beyond that.

Taking Care of Burns You can get burned by heat and fire, radiation, sunlight, electricity or chemicals. There are three degrees of burns: Thin or superficial burns (also called first-degree burns) are red and painful. They swell a little. They turn white when you press on them. The skin over the burn may peel off in 1 or 2 days. Thicker burns, called superficial partial-thickness and deep partial-thickness burns (also called second-degree burns), have blisters and are painful. Full-thickness burns (also called third-degree burns) cause damage to all layers of the skin.

- Sunburns often are categorized as first degree burns. The inflammation is characterized by pain, redness, and a mild amount of swelling. The skin may be very tender to touch. Second degree burns are deeper and in addition to the pain, redness and inflammation, there is also blistering of the skin. Third degree burns are deeper still, involving all layers of the skin, in effect killing that area of skin.
