Burn injuries can be caused by fire, chemicals, hot liquids, electrical accidents, or even by an air bag that deploys quickly and strikes exposed skin. A first degree burn is comparable to a mild sunburn. Although a first degree burn can normally be cared for at home, it’s advisable to consult a doctor. Second degree burns run deeper than first degree burns and involve more layers of skin. They are rated in severity by their size and a second degree burn covers more than three inches of skin, it requires medical attention. Third degree burns, the most severe kind of burn, usually require hospitalization, skin grafts, and reconstructive surgery, especially if they are large.
