There are many different ways that a person can get burned including hot liquids, fire, chemicals, electricity, steam and the sun. It is important to have a good idea on how to treat a burn should it ever happen to you or someone near you. Burns are classified into three different categories including First degree burn, second degree burn and third degree burn.

First degree burns are the most minor of the types of burns that one can get. They are on the outer most layer of your skin and will cause the skin to turn red. The burn will swell on the skin and will be painful. Typically speaking a first degree burn will be on a small portion of your body and will only require treatment at home.
A second degree burn is the type of burn that reaches the second layer of your skin. Your skin will be very red and blotchy and blisters will show up on the skin. The burn will be extremely painful and you will experience a lot of swelling. A small second degree burn can be taken care of at home. If you experience a second degree burn larger than a few inches it is recommended that you go to the emergency room for immediate care from a physician.
A third degree burn is the most sever of the burn types and it involves all layers of your skin. It is possible the burn may be so severe it chars the skin black and involves portions of the body below the skin layers. The burn will be likely be extremely painful unless the nerves have been burned as well , at which time you will feel little or no pain. Immediate emergency room care is required with a third degree burn.
