Burns are classified into three levels in terms of severity of damage to body tissues:First class burns that only damage the surface of the skin and its sign is only a burning and reddening skin. Second degree burns, in which the subcutaneous layers of the skin are damaged, with pain and burning and blisters. Third grade burns that completely damage the skin and its underlying tissues, such as muscles and bones, may also be damaged and often require transplantation and surgery.Types of burns:•Grade 1 •Grade 2 •Grade 3 •Chemical burns .Electrical burns Burns Grade 1:Surface burns is the slightest type of burn that affects only the outer layer of the skin, epidermal. The causes of this burn is a mild flame.Grade 2 burns:Medium intensity burns only affects the epidermis and part of the dermis (but not all of the dermis) and does not damage the underlying tissues.
