Burns is the damage to the skin or the tissues underlying the skin caused either by the sun, fire, electricity, hot liquids, etc. The severity of the burns depends upon the size of the burns and the depth of tissues affected.
Burns are of three major types, such as first degree, second degree, and thrid degree burns. First degree burns affect the outer layer of the skin, second degree reaches the layer under the skin while the third degree reaches the deepest layer of the skin.
