Injuries to the Skin

The skin is the largest organ in a person’s body. In addition to providing us with the sense of touch, the skin also provides our internal organs with critical protection from environmental hazards such as extreme temperatures, disease-carrying microbes, and various toxins. The skin also plays an important role in our body’s regulation of body temperature and fluid balance. Specialized cells present in our skin help the body prevent and fight disease. For these reasons, damage to the skin through a burn injury can be devastating to an individuals overall health, impairing or even eliminating many of the essential functions this skin performs.

Burn Categories

• First Degree Burns: First degree burns typically affect the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). Such burns tend to be moist and red in color. A sun burn is a good example of a first degree burn.
• Second Degree Burns: A second degree burn penetrates the entire epidermal layer, extending deeper into the layer of skin known as the dermis. Such burns are characterized by a moist, pinkish appearance which can be accompanied by blistering. Such burns can be extremely painful.
• Third Degree Burns: Third degree burns are the most serious. They occur when all layers of the skin are burned and the underlying tissue is damaged. Such burns are characterized by a white or black appearance, and permanent scarring is inevitable.
