Sustaining a burn or scald injury can be an extremely painful injury, and the pain can remain intense for long time after the accident.
Burn and scald injuries can also have a grave psychological effect too, often leaving scars that the burns victim is extremely self conscious of.
Burns range in their severity and intensity, with minor burns where the skin becomes inflamed but does not blister being classed as first degree burns. Second degree burns are obviously more painful than first degree burns, with deeper layers of the skin being damaged. The skin will be inflamed and blistered. Third degree burns are the most serious types of burns. The damaged caused by these types of burns may also effect the victims muscles and ligaments.These types of burns will take the longest to heal and scar the victim.
There are several different types of ways in which you may sustain a burn or scald injury. For example, fireworks, sunlight, whilst working with strong chemicals. Children are particularly vulnerable as their skin is much softer than adults, therefore the environments in which we leave our children must always be as risk free as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary accidents.
