Burn
The burn is a partial or total destruction being able to relate to the skin, the parts soft of fabrics, or even the bones.
The gravity of the burn depends on its localization, its depth (the degree of burns), of extended from damaged surface (expressed as a percentage of entire surface) and from the causal agent in question. The burn is not a wound like the others because it has reflected on the psychological state of the flaring.
A burn can be caused:
- by the contact with an hot source (solid, liquid, or gas),
- by the contact with chemicals known as Corrosive,
- by friction
- by the effect of combustion (action of a Flame),
- by the effect of a Radiation (the sunstroke - Ultraviolet radiation B - is the most frequent example),
- by the effect of an electric current (electrification).
Degrees of burns
Burns of first degree
They are the least serious burns and most widespread. Only the skin is touched. They have as a consequence the appearance of redness and the increased sensitivity of the affected region. An good example is the Sunstroke. These burns do not require any special care because the Peau guard its capacity of regeneration.
Second-degree burns
These burns damage the skin and, in a less marked way the Derme. These burns see the appearance of blisters on the affected areas. The skin can there too regenerate itself provided that the touched person takes care to avoid all infection.
