  A second-degree burn often looks wet or moist. It affects the first and second layers of skin, which are called the epidermis and the dermis. Blisters may develop, and pain can be terrible. […] Burn symptoms vary depending on how deep the skin damage is. It can take a day or two for the symptoms of a severe burn to develop. […] Second-degree burn, also called partial-thickness burn. This type of burn affects both the epidermis and the second layer of skin, which is called the dermis. It may cause swelling and red, white or splotchy skin. Blisters may develop, and pain can be terrible. Deep second-degree burns can cause scarring. […] Third-degree burns involve all of the layers of skin and sometimes the fat and muscle tissue under the skin. The skin may appear stiff, waxy white, leathery or gray. These types of burns often need skin grafts to close the wound.

  https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-conditions/skin-hair-and-nails/burns/stages.html

  Burns are classified as first-, second-, or third-degree, depending on how deep and severe they penetrate the skin’s surface. […] First-degree burns affect only the epidermis, or outer layer of skin. The burn site is red, painful, dry, and with no blisters. […] Second-degree burns involve the epidermis and part of the dermis layer of skin. The burn site appears red, blistered, and may be swollen and painful. […] Third-degree burns destroy the epidermis and dermis. Third-degree burns may also damage the underlying bones, muscles, and tendons. The burn site appears white or charred. There is no sensation in the area since the nerve endings are destroyed. […] Burns affecting 10 percent of a child’s body and those affecting 15 to 20 percent of an adult’s body are considered to be major injuries and require hospitalization and extensive rehabilitation.

  https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/ep/surge/burn/burndepth.html

  Burn depth is officially assessed at 24h after injury as blisters and other injury may evolve. […] Signs Symptoms: Moist and weepy, pink or red in color, blisters present, blanches to pressure, and very painful. Can worsen substantially over the first 24 hours. […] In 2nd degree burn injuries the skin function is lost. […] Signs Symptoms: May by dry and leathery in appearance and to the touch, the tissue may be pale, mottled brown, black or red, with thrombosed vessels, does not blanch to pressure, insensate, hair may remove easily. […] In 3rd degree burn injuries skin function is lost and grafting is required for functional healing. 3rd degree burns will almost always require hospital admission.

• #1 Burns Types, Classification, Definition, Causes, Treatment

  https://www.medicinenet.com/burns/article.htm

  Burn treatment depends upon the location, body surface area, and degree of burn. […] Burn injuries occur from the contact of excessive heat over the skin, causing tissue damage and often resulting in scarring. […] The amount of damage that a burn can cause depends upon the type of burn, its location, its depth, and how much body surface area it involves. […] Burns are classified based on their depth. […] Burns are not static and may mature. Over a few hours, a first-degree burn may involve deeper structures and become second-degree. […] Similarly, second-degree burns may evolve into third-degree burns. […] Regardless of the type of burn, inflammation and fluid accumulation in and around the wound occur. […] Only the epidermis can regenerate itself. Burns that extend deeper may cause permanent injury and scarring and not allow the skin in that area to return to normal function.

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/skin-burns-beyond-the-basics

  More serious burns should be evaluated by a provider with expertise in diagnosing and treating burns, such as an emergency medicine or burn specialist. […] The depth of a burn can change over the first few days. This means that a burn may appear superficial initially and then become deeper over time. If you are unsure of how deeply your skin is burned, contact your health care provider. They can tell you whether you should go to the emergency department. […] First-degree (superficial-thickness) burns — First-degree burns (also called superficial burns) involve only the top layer of skin. They are painful, dry, and red; and blanch when pressed. These burns do not form a blister and generally heal in three to six days without any scarring. […] Second-degree (partial-thickness) burns — Second-degree burns (also called partial-thickness burns) involve the top two layers of skin. These burns form blisters, are very painful, may seep fluid, and blanch when pressed. Second-degree burns typically heal within 7 to 21 days. The burned area may permanently become darker or lighter in color and may form a scar.

• #1 First-Degree Burn | Boston Children’s Hospital

  https://www.childrenshospital.org/conditions/first-degree-burn

  A first-degree burn, also called a superficial burn, only affects the epidermis, or outer layer of skin. The burn site appears red, painful, dry, and absent of blisters. Scarring is rare or minimal. The most common type of first-degree burn is mild sunburn. […] The following are the most common signs and symptoms of a first-degree burn. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: Redness, Dry skin, Skin that is painful to touch, Pain usually lasts 48 to 72 hours and then subsides, Peeling skin. […] First-degree burns usually heal on their own within a week.

• #1 Burns: Types, Symptoms, and Treatments

  https://www.healthline.com/health/burns

  Burns are classified from first to third degree. Most people recover without serious health consequences, but more severe burns require emergency medical care to prevent complications and death. […] Burns are characterized by severe skin damage that causes the affected skin cells to die. […] First-degree burns usually heal within 7 to 10 days without scarring. […] Some second-degree burns take longer than three weeks to heal, but most heal within two to three weeks without scarring, but often with pigment changes to the skin. […] Excluding fourth-degree burns, third-degree burns are the most severe. […] Without surgery, these wounds heal with severe scarring and contracture. There is no set timeline for complete spontaneous healing for third-degree burns. […] Compared with first- and second-degree burns, third-degree burns carry the most risk for complications, such as infections, blood loss, and shock, which is often what could lead to death. […] Extensive damage from severe second-degree and third-degree burns can lead to problems in deep skin tissues, bones, and organs.

• #1 Patient education: Skin burns (Beyond the Basics) – UpToDate

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/skin-burns-beyond-the-basics

  Third-degree (full-thickness) burns — Third-degree burns (also called full-thickness burns) extend through all layers of the skin, completely destroying the skin. The burned area usually does not hurt. It can range in color from a deep red to waxy white to leathery gray or charred black. There may or may not be a blister. The skin does not change color when touched. Third-degree burns cannot heal without surgical treatment such as skin grafts. […] If your burn is not healing, becomes more painful, or appears infected (redness spreading greater than 2 cm from the edge of the burn), you should see a health care provider soon. […] Most skin burns that are small and first or second degree will heal within one to two weeks and will not usually scar. In some patients with second degree burns, the skin may become darker or lighter in color, and this will return to normal in 6-9 months.

• #1 Burn – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn

  Symptoms First degree: Red without blisters Second degree: Blisters and pain Third degree: Area stiff and not painful Fourth degree: Bone and tendon loss […] Burns that affect only the superficial skin layers are known as superficial or first-degree burns. They appear red without blisters, and pain typically lasts around three days. When the injury extends into some of the underlying skin layer, it is a partial-thickness or second-degree burn. Blisters are frequently present and they are often very painful. Healing can require up to eight weeks and scarring may occur. In a full-thickness or third-degree burn, the injury extends to all layers of the skin. Often there is no pain and the burnt area is stiff. Healing typically does not occur on its own. A fourth-degree burn additionally involves injury to deeper tissues, such as muscle, tendons, or bone. The burn is often black and frequently leads to loss of the burned part.

• #1 Burns — Know When to Go to the ER

  https://www.emergencyphysicians.org/article/know-when-to-go/burns

  Third-degree. Sometimes called a full thickness burn, this type of injury destroys two full layers of skin. Instead of turning red, it may appear black, brown, white or yellow. […] Fourth-degree. This is the deepest and most severe of burns. Theyre potentially life-threatening. These burns destroy all layers of skin, as well as bones, muscles, and tendons. […] It only takes one second of contact with human skin to cause a serious burn if a liquid is over 160 F. In kids less than five years of age it happens even faster! Deaths from scalding burns are the highest for kids under four years of age. […] Seek emergency care for more serious burns and for any burns to the eyes, mouth, hands, and genital areas, even if mild. If the burn covers a large area, get medical attention immediately. Get immediate medical attention if you have any of the following symptoms related to a burn: Fever, Puss-like or foul-smelling drainage, Excessive swelling, Redness of the skin, A blister filled with greenish or brownish fluid, A burn that doesnt heal in 10 days to two weeks. […] Never break blisters from a burn and remember not to remove clothing stuck to burned skin. If you are helping someone with a serious burn, keep the burned areas elevated to reduce swelling.

• #1 Understanding the Different Burn Stages: Family Urgent Care

  https://famurgentcare.com/blog/understanding-the-different-burn-stages/

  The worst type of burn is a fourth-degree burn. This burn penetrates all of the skin and fatty layers, destroying muscles, tendons, and bone. Fourth-degree burns are medical emergencies that should be immediately reported to 911. Recovery from fourth-degree burns will inevitably require surgery, likely to graft skin to cover the affected area. […] Third- and fourth-degree burns necessitate a call for an ambulance, so if your burn fits either of these descriptions, call 911.

• #1 2nd-Degree Burn: What It Looks Like, Treatment & Healing

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/24527-second-degree-burn

  A second-degree burn is a mild to moderate burn, and its the most common type. A second-degree burn damages the outer layer of your skin (epidermis) and the second layer of your skin (dermis). […] During a second-degree burn, a heat, chemical or light source destroys and goes through the first and second layers of your skin. This causes damage to the cells in your skin. Cell damage triggers your immune system to activate to prevent further damage to your body. You may experience skin discoloration and swelling, which is a sign that your immune system is actively working to heal your injury. As your body repairs itself after a burn, dead skin cells leave your body as your skin peels and flakes at the site of your burn. […] Your second-degree burn will undergo three stages of healing: React: When you get a burn, your body will activate your immune system via inflammation. This causes swelling and skin discoloration, as your immune system works to heal your body. Repair: The second stage is happening below the surface of your skin. Your cells are working together to fix the damage to your skin by getting rid of damaged tissue to make room for the new skin and tissue to grow. Remodel: The third stage of healing is when your body creates a scar. Your body closes any gaps in your tissue caused by the burn and fills it with collagen, a protein within your skin. Sometimes, your scar is visible and other times, the area where your skin closed together looks natural. The healing process can take several weeks after a second-degree burn.

• #1 The Stages of Second-Degree Burn Healing: What to Expect

  https://www.thewoundpros.com/post/the-stages-of-second-degree-burn-healing-what-to-expect

  Understanding the stages of second-degree burn healing is pivotal in navigating the recovery journey. As burns progress through distinct phases, each marked by specific changes and challenges, being prepared and informed becomes essential. This exploration unravels the intricacies of second-degree burn healing stages, shedding light on what to expect at every step, from the start, when your skin gets red and swollen, to later, when your skin changes and becomes stronger. […] The first phase of healing after a second-degree burn is the inflammatory phase. It typically lasts for about 5 to 7 days. During this time, your body responds to the injury by sending blood, nutrients, and immune cells to the affected area. […] Your immune system plays a crucial role during the inflammatory phase. You might notice symptoms like redness, swelling, pain, and warmth around the burn site. These signs show that your immune cells are working to repair the damage and fight off any potential infections.

• #1 Burn Progression in Human Skin – A Review of Current Knowledge and Opportunities for Future Research – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39957288/

  Treatment of a burn wound often depends on the vertical depth of injury, which is commonly determined by visual assessment. Burn progression is the concept that in the early post-burn period, a partial thickness burn may progress to a deeper burn requiring surgery. Therefore, the initial appearance of the wound may not be indicative of the eventual extent of injury. […] Several preclinical studies attribute burn wound progression to events such as vasoconstriction, inflammation, programmed cell death, free radical damage, and microvascular occlusion. […] Unfortunately, only a few small human studies exploring mechanisms including apoptosis, ischemia, and infection exist. […] Inherent to determining burn progression is burn depth determination and healing potential, an area of research that has many ongoing investigations without a clear standard method to replace visual evaluation.

• #1 Cutaneous burns – Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment | BMJ Best Practice

  https://bestpractice.bmj.com/topics/en-gb/412

  Cutaneous burns can usually be managed in an outpatient setting. Early management affects long-term outcome. […] Severity is assessed by burn size (% total body surface area) and depth (first to fourth degree). […] Prognosis varies from excellent to poor depending on the severity of the burn. Associated injuries (such as inhalation injury or trauma) adversely affect the prognosis. […] The local response involves the coagulation of injured tissue, and to some degree incites progressive microvascular reactions in the surrounding dermis. As burns become larger than about 20% of the total body surface area, a systemic response ensues, driving fluid loss and release of vasoactive mediators from the injured tissue. Clinically this results in early capillary leak, interstitial oedema, and organ dysfunction.

• #1 Burn injury

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7224101/

  The uniqueness of a severe or major burn injury is anchored in the body responses to it. After the injury, an immediate systemic and local stress response is triggered that, unlike sepsis or trauma, does not recover quickly. […] Severe burns cause a complex pattern of responses that can last up to several years after the initial insult. […] However, in severe burns, this inflammatory process can be extensive and become uncontrolled, leading to an augmented inflammation that does not induce healing but rather causes a generalized catabolic state and delayed healing. […] A recent study demonstrated that burn injuries affect morbidity and mortality for at least 5 to 10 years after the injury. […] The hypermetabolic state after burn injury persists for up to 36 months after the initial insult. […] If hypermetabolism cannot be diminished or decreased, holistic catabolism ensues and, subsequently, multiple organ failure and death.

• #1 The Stages of Second-Degree Burn Healing: What to Expect

  https://www.thewoundpros.com/post/the-stages-of-second-degree-burn-healing-what-to-expect

  The healing journey doesn’t stop with tissue formation. Collagen, which played a significant role in the proliferative phase, continues to be reshaped and realigned during the remodeling phase. This process improves the wound’s strength and durability. While scars may never entirely disappear, they become less prominent and more integrated into your skin’s texture. […] Various factors can influence the speed and success of healing after a second-degree burn. These elements affect how quickly you move through the phases and the eventual outcome of your healing journey. […] Several factors stand out in shaping your healing journey. Age matters, as younger individuals often heal faster due to more active cellular regeneration. Your overall health, including nutrition and immune system strength, significantly affects how effectively your body can heal. Proper wound care practices, such as keeping the burn site clean and protected, are crucial.

  Burn symptoms can include: Blisters that are either intact (unbroken) or have ruptured and are leaking fluid. Pain — How much pain you have is unrelated to the level of burn. The most serious burns can be painless. Peeling skin. Shock — Watch for pale and clammy skin, weakness, blue lips and fingernails, and a decrease in alertness. Swelling. Red, white, or charred skin. […] You may have an airway burn if you have: Burns on the head, face, neck, eyebrows, or nose hairs. Burned lips and mouth. Coughing. Difficulty breathing. Dark, black-stained mucus. Voice changes. Wheezing. […] The outcome will depend on the type (degree), extent, and location of the burn. It also depends upon whether internal organs have been affected, and if other trauma has occurred. Burns can leave permanent scars. They can also be more sensitive to temperature and light than normal skin. Sensitive areas, such as the eyes, nose, or ears, may be badly injured and have lost normal function. […] With airway burns, the person may have less breathing capacity and permanent lung damage. Severe burns that affect the joints may result in contractures, leaving the joint with decreased movement and a reduction in function.

  Burns and scalds can sometimes lead to further problems, including shock, heat exhaustion, infection and scarring. […] It’s possible to go into shock after a serious burn. […] Wounds can become infected if bacteria get into them. If your burn or scald has a blister that’s burst, it may become infected if it’s not kept clean. […] In rare cases, an infected burn can cause blood poisoning (sepsis) or toxic shock syndrome. These serious conditions can be fatal if not treated. […] Most minor burns only leave minimal scarring.

  Dehydration eventually develops in people with widespread burns, because fluid seeps from the blood into the burned tissues and, if burns are deep and extensive enough, into the whole body. […] Shock develops if dehydration is severe. […] Infection can complicate burn wounds. Sometimes the infection can spread throughout the bloodstream and cause severe illness or death. […] The body temperature can become dangerously low (hypothermia) when cool fluids are given to try to correct dehydration, especially if the person is exposed in a cool emergency room environment as doctors evaluate and treat severe burns. […] Superficial and some partial-thickness burns heal in days to weeks without scarring. Deep partial-thickness and small full-thickness burns take weeks to heal and usually cause scarring. Most require skin grafting. Burns that involve more than 90% of the body surface, or more than 60% in an older adult, are often fatal.

  Second-degree burns involve damage to the second layer of skin, called the dermis. These very painful burns look pink, moist and soft. Blisters usually appear and fluid might ooze from the skin. Depending on the damage to the dermis, these burns may take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to heal. Scarring may result. Such burns often result from severe UV exposure and scalds. […] Third-degree burns involve damage to the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis, the third layer of skin. As a result, the full thickness of the skin is damaged. Fat, nerves, muscles, and bones may be affected. Damage of this sort causes the skin to appear a filmy white. The area isn’t generally painful because nerve endings have been damaged. Since a large amount of tissue may be destroyed, healing is very slow and considerable scarring results. Later on, contractures (permanent tightening of tissue that prevents normal movement) can occur due to the deep scarring and occasionally tissue may have to be cut or „released” to relieve underlying pressure. Deep burns may result from contact with fires, electricity, or corrosive chemicals. […] Inhalational burns can lead to airway swelling and inability to breathe; people with these injuries must be brought to a hospital as soon as possible, even if they initially do not have breathing difficulties.

  More severe complications can happen when burns are deeper and cover more of your bodys surface area. Some of these serious or dangerous complications can include: Dehydration and shock from fluid and blood loss. […] Full-thickness burns take more than three weeks to heal. The extended healing time means they scar heavily without proper care. That’s why they always need medical attention.

• #1 PTSD After Burn Injury: Signs Symptoms & Coping |MSKTC

  https://msktc.org/burn/factsheets/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd

  Mental and physical reactions are common after a traumatic event, like a burn injury. Reactions that occur soon after a traumatic event are called acute stress symptoms. Symptoms of acute or post traumatic stress are common responses to a burn injury. […] If symptoms of post traumatic stress do not go away, they can cause more problems and become Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD can affect adults and children. […] About 90% of both adults and children with burn injuries report at least one symptom of acute stress right after the traumatic event but only about 30% of people with these symptoms develop PTSD. PTSD is more likely to occur if the burn injury is an assault or a repeated trauma (such as ongoing abuse). […] Burn survivors most at risk for PTSD are those with a history of anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, panic disorder) or depression. Burn survivors who have a history of traumatic events and past PTSD are also at risk for developing PTSD from the current burn injury.

  The long-term outcome is related to the size of burn and the age of the person affected. […] The prognosis is worse in those with larger burns, those who are older, and females. The presence of a smoke inhalation injury, other significant injuries such as long bone fractures, and serious co-morbidities (e.g. heart disease, diabetes, psychiatric illness, and suicidal intent) also influence prognosis. On average, of those admitted to burn centers in the United States, 4% die, with the outcome for individuals dependent on the extent of the burn injury. For example, admittees with burn areas less than 10% TBSA had a mortality rate of less than 1%, while admittees with over 90% TBSA had a mortality rate of 85%. […] A number of complications may occur, with infections being the most common. In order of frequency, potential complications include: pneumonia, cellulitis, urinary tract infections and respiratory failure. Risk factors for infection include: burns of more than 30% TBSA, full-thickness burns, extremes of age (young or old), or burns involving the legs or perineum.

  Burns commonly occur by direct or indirect contact with heat, electric current, radiation, or chemical agents. Burns can lead to cell death, which can require hospitalization and can be fatal. […] There are three levels of burns: First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of the skin. They cause pain, redness, and swelling. Second-degree burns affect both the outer and underlying layer of skin. They cause pain, redness, swelling, and blistering. They are also called partial thickness burns. Third-degree burns affect the deep layers of skin. They are also called full thickness burns. They cause white or blackened, burned skin. The skin may be numb. […] Major burns need urgent medical care. This can help prevent scarring, disability, and deformity. […] Children under age 4 and adults over age 60 have a higher chance of complications and death from severe burns because their skin tends to be thinner than in other age groups.

  Third degree burns are also called full thickness burns. This type of burn goes through the epidermis and dermis and affects deeper tissues, which may also be damaged or destroyed. The injured area can appear charred and may be black, white, or deep red in color. This area is often numb to light touch. Third degree burns dont heal by themselves, so skin grafting is often necessary (discussed later). […] Fourth degree and deeper burns destroy the skin plus fat, muscle and sometimes bone. […] Burned areas can get infected, at the time of the injury and during the healing process. To prevent infection, people with burn injuries should follow the treatment orders of their health care team. […] Depending on the burn injury degree and location, along with age and ethnicity, scarring may occur. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict who will develop scarring. Studies have shown that burns will typically not scar if they heal within 14 days. The longer a wound remains open, the greater the risk of scarring. Hypertrophic burn scars (raised scars in the area of the original burn) may occur and are a common complication in burn injuries. These scars may limit function depending on the location as well as affect body image. These scars may also become symptomatic and result in discomfort, itchiness, and tightness.

  The recovery process differs for everyone. Most patients report feeling pain, fatigue, and itching during recovery and rehabilitation. […] Pain is common. Third degree burns are painful with deep pressure. Second degree burns are painful with air movement or changes in temperature. First degree burns are painful on the surface of the skin. Pain can also occur in the process of dressing changes. Most importantly, a delayed onset of increased pain can be associated with onset of wound infection. […] Fatigue is common. The more severe the burn injury, the greater the level of fatigue. […] Itching is a common part of the healing process. Patients should never scratch their wounds. Moisturizers and antihistamines can help make the burned area less itchy. Application of cool compresses on a healed burn may also help.

[…] More serious burns require professional medical attention. […] Some symptoms may be delayed and can include: […] The size and depth of the burn will be assessed, and the affected area cleaned before a dressing is applied. In severe cases, skin graft surgery may be recommended. […] There are 4 main types of burn, which tend to have a different appearance and different symptoms: […] deep dermal or partial thickness burn where the epidermis and the dermis are damaged; this type of burn makes your skin turn red and blotchy; your skin may be dry or moist and become swollen and blistered, and it may be very painful or painless

  A burn injury can damage the sweat glands and blood vessels on the skin. […] Because of the changes in the sweat glands, many burn survivors experience itching and abnormal sweating as their burn injuries finish healing. […] Burns take 1-3 years to heal if scar tissue develops. […] The use of pressure garments and plastic orthoses (braces) may shorten the healing time. […] Many burn survivors experience an itching, tingling feeling while they’re healing. […] The itchy feeling may be caused by nerves regrowing under the damaged skin. […] When a burn starts to heal, the healed outer skin layer (epidermis) isn’t tightly attached to the deeper layers of the skin. […] The amount of time your skin will be tight after a burn varies. […] Skin tightness (also called contracture) that limits your range of motion can be permanent if the tight area isn’t stretched while the skin is healing and maturing.

[…] You may notice that the burned area feels tight and hard while it is healing. It is important to continue to move the area as the burn heals to prevent loss of motion or loss of function in the area. […] When your skin is damaged by a burn, you have a greater risk of infection. Keep the wound clean and change the bandages regularly to prevent infection and help the burn heal. […] Burns can leave permanent scars. Taking good care of the burn as it heals may help prevent bad scars. […] Your pain gets worse.

  Visible burns on the skin […] The severity of an electrical burn depends on the amount of electricity you come into contact with and how long your body is connected with the current. […] Electrical injuries can sometimes be contained to thermal (electricity can create heat and cause a thermal burn or in addition, can be conducted through the body to cause a wide variety of internal injuries). […] Severe burns from a more extensive second-degree electrical injury or third-degree burn require immediate intervention and emergency treatment. […] The danger posed by electrocution burns depends on the current, voltage, how the electricity travels through the patients body and the victims overall health. However, even a small amount of electricity can be fatal. […] An electrical burn on the hand may not leave a visible mark but could still cause significant internal damage and possibly even cardiac arrest.

  https://burncenters.com/burns/burn-services/electrical-burns/

  The time it takes to recover from electrocution burns will depend on the severity of the damage and how soon after an accident a patient receives the proper electrical burn treatment. […] First-degree burns usually heal in around 7-10 days. […] The healing process can take 1-3 weeks. […] After the appropriate medical intervention, healing can take a few weeks. […] Because electrical burn injuries often involve areas below the skin that cannot be seen (like bones or tendons that can act as conduits for the current) there are special considerations for such injuries.

  Symptoms of Chemical Eye Burns: Eye redness, Eye irritation, Eye pain, Swelling of the eyelid(s), Blurred vision, Inability to keep your eye open, Feeling of foreign objects in the eye. […] Alkali Burns: These burns involve high-pH chemicals and thus are the most dangerous. They are powerful enough to penetrate the eye and cause damage to its vital inner components. In the worst cases, they can lead to conditions like cataracts and glaucoma, and may cause vision loss or blindness. […] Acid Burns: Lower-pH burns are usually less destructive than alkali burns, but are still dangerous. These burns don’t easily penetrate the eye, but still may cause significant damage to the cornea, with the potential to cause vision loss. […] If possible, take note of what chemical came into contact with your eye, as this information can help inform the medical treatment plan.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/24527-second-degree-burn

  A second-degree burn is a mild to moderate burn, and its the most common type. A second-degree burn damages the outer layer of your skin (epidermis) and the second layer of your skin (dermis). […] During a second-degree burn, a heat, chemical or light source destroys and goes through the first and second layers of your skin. This causes damage to the cells in your skin. Cell damage triggers your immune system to activate to prevent further damage to your body. You may experience skin discoloration and swelling, which is a sign that your immune system is actively working to heal your injury. As your body repairs itself after a burn, dead skin cells leave your body as your skin peels and flakes at the site of your burn. […] Your second-degree burn will undergo three stages of healing: React: When you get a burn, your body will activate your immune system via inflammation. This causes swelling and skin discoloration, as your immune system works to heal your body. Repair: The second stage is happening below the surface of your skin. Your cells are working together to fix the damage to your skin by getting rid of damaged tissue to make room for the new skin and tissue to grow. Remodel: The third stage of healing is when your body creates a scar. Your body closes any gaps in your tissue caused by the burn and fills it with collagen, a protein within your skin. Sometimes, your scar is visible and other times, the area where your skin closed together looks natural. The healing process can take several weeks after a second-degree burn.

  Third degree burns are also called full thickness burns. This type of burn goes through the epidermis and dermis and affects deeper tissues, which may also be damaged or destroyed. The injured area can appear charred and may be black, white, or deep red in color. This area is often numb to light touch. Third degree burns dont heal by themselves, so skin grafting is often necessary (discussed later). […] Fourth degree and deeper burns destroy the skin plus fat, muscle and sometimes bone. […] Burned areas can get infected, at the time of the injury and during the healing process. To prevent infection, people with burn injuries should follow the treatment orders of their health care team. […] Depending on the burn injury degree and location, along with age and ethnicity, scarring may occur. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict who will develop scarring. Studies have shown that burns will typically not scar if they heal within 14 days. The longer a wound remains open, the greater the risk of scarring. Hypertrophic burn scars (raised scars in the area of the original burn) may occur and are a common complication in burn injuries. These scars may limit function depending on the location as well as affect body image. These scars may also become symptomatic and result in discomfort, itchiness, and tightness.

  Inflammation might seem uncomfortable, but it’s a necessary part of healing. The increased blood flow helps remove damaged cells and toxins from the area. This prepares the ground for the subsequent phases of healing. While inflammation can cause discomfort, it’s a sign that your body is working to restore your skin’s health. […] The proliferative phase is the next step in second-degree burn healing, lasting from approximately day 5 to day 21 after the burn occurs. During this period, your body works hard, building new tissue to repair the damaged area. […] A vital feature of the proliferative phase is the formation of granulation tissue. This tissue appears pinkish or red, with bumpy clusters on the burn site. It plays a vital role in wound healing by filling in the gap left by the burned skin.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/24527-second-degree-burn

  A second-degree burn is a mild to moderate burn, and its the most common type. A second-degree burn damages the outer layer of your skin (epidermis) and the second layer of your skin (dermis). […] During a second-degree burn, a heat, chemical or light source destroys and goes through the first and second layers of your skin. This causes damage to the cells in your skin. Cell damage triggers your immune system to activate to prevent further damage to your body. You may experience skin discoloration and swelling, which is a sign that your immune system is actively working to heal your injury. As your body repairs itself after a burn, dead skin cells leave your body as your skin peels and flakes at the site of your burn. […] Your second-degree burn will undergo three stages of healing: React: When you get a burn, your body will activate your immune system via inflammation. This causes swelling and skin discoloration, as your immune system works to heal your body. Repair: The second stage is happening below the surface of your skin. Your cells are working together to fix the damage to your skin by getting rid of damaged tissue to make room for the new skin and tissue to grow. Remodel: The third stage of healing is when your body creates a scar. Your body closes any gaps in your tissue caused by the burn and fills it with collagen, a protein within your skin. Sometimes, your scar is visible and other times, the area where your skin closed together looks natural. The healing process can take several weeks after a second-degree burn.

  While building new tissue, your body develops a network of tiny blood vessels. This process, called angiogenesis, helps supply the healing area with oxygen and nutrients. Collagen, a protein responsible for skin strength and elasticity, is produced abundantly during this phase. It helps create a strong foundation for the new skin that will eventually cover the burn. […] The remodeling phase is the final chapter in the journey of healing second-degree burns. Unlike the previous phases, this phase takes weeks to months to complete. During this time, your body focuses on refining and strengthening the newly formed tissue. […] The scar’s appearance, texture, and color gradually change as your burn recovers. Initially, scars may appear raised, reddish, and possibly itchy. Over time, these scars tend to flatten and soften. The color may fade from red to a paler hue. This transformation is a testament to your body’s remarkable ability to adapt and renew.

[…] On average, it can take one week to three weeks for your skin to heal after a second-degree burn. This timeframe can vary based on the size and location of your burn.
