Types of burns
First degree burns damage only the outer layer of the skin. They are characterized by a reddening of the skin that hurts on contact. The most common are when the person has been exposed to the sun a lot, especially in summer.
Second degree burns damage the outer layer of the skin and the one below it. It is characterized by the appearance of blisters. Blisters are a defense system against sunburn. They protect against infections and with the liquid they contain, they hydrate the wound and help healing. They are painful. Blisters can be caused by very hot water, flames, among other factors.
And third-degree burns, damage or destroy the deepest layer of skin and the tissues under them. You can see the charred tissue. The nerves responsible for transmitting pain are destroyed, some say that third-degree burns do not hurt.

How to treat first degree burns
First degree burns are common, and many can be treated at home unlike those in second or third grade. But even so, they can hurt a lot to even leave a scar if not treated properly.
We recommend you do the following in case of first-degree burns:
- Cool or place the affected part under running water.
- Use petroleum jelly
- Cover the burn. Cover the affected area with a clean bandage so that it does not stick.
- Protect sunburn to minimize scar.
How to identify a third degree burn
When a person suffers a third degree burn, the skin becomes very dry. An obvious damage to the skin is perceived, sometimes the layer of fat can be seen under the epidermis, the patient loses sensitivity in the area since it kills the nerve causing absence of pain.
For second and third degree burns, go see the doctor. Call Attorney Javier Marcos later to help you with your case. A second degree burn can be complicated by infection in the burned area, when the burned skin becomes darker and when the burned skin is more sensitive to the sun when it is healing.
