HomePage
Overview
Discusses the seriousness of burns, categorizing them into three degrees based on depth and severity. First-degree burns affect only the surface layer of skin, while second-degree burns penetrate deeper and are more painful. Third-degree burns are the most severe, damaging skin, muscles, and nerves. First aid varies by burn severity, emphasizing the importance of cooling the burn, avoiding ointments, and seeking medical help for serious cases. Chemical burns require immediate washing with water, and specific procedures for eye exposure are outlined. Quick medical attention is crucial to prevent complications such as infection and shock.
