Burns

Burns

Burn injuries can affect the skin and underlying tissues, ranging from mild surface damage to deeper, more complex conditions. Proper and timely treatment is essential to promote healing, prevent complications, and minimize long-term scarring.

 

What are Burns?

Burns occur when the skin is damaged by heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation. Depending on severity, burns can impact the outer layer of skin or extend deeper into tissues.

Treatment focuses on stabilizing the injury, supporting healing, and restoring both function and appearance.

 

When is Treatment Recommended?

Medical evaluation is recommended if you experience:

  • Blistering or peeling skin
  • Deep or widespread burns
  • Severe pain or numbness
  • Signs of infection
  • Burns on sensitive areas such as face, hands, or joints

Prompt care helps reduce complications and supports better recovery.

 

Types of Burns

  • First-degree burns – Affect the outer skin layer
  • Second-degree burns – Involve deeper layers with blistering
  • Third-degree burns – Extend through multiple layers and may affect nerves

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Burn treatment can address:

  • Skin surface injuries
  • Deeper tissue damage
  • Sensitive areas such as face, hands, and joints
  • Post-burn scarring and contractures
