The Severity of Burn Injuries
Burns are classified by degree of severity. First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin. Second-degree burns extend into the dermis and cause blistering. Third-degree burns destroy all layers of skin and may damage underlying tissue. Fourth-degree burns extend into muscle, tendon, and bone. Severe burns require specialized treatment at burn centers, with recovery taking months or years.
