Thermal burns are caused by heat, such as from fire, hot liquids, or hot objects.

The severity of a burn is determined by the depth of the burn, the size of the burn, and the location of the burn.

Burns are classified into three degrees: first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree.

A first-degree burn is a burn that affects only the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.

A second-degree burn is a burn that affects the epidermis and dermis, the two outermost layers of the skin.

A third-degree burn is a burn that affects all layers of the skin, including the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue.

Thermal burns can be caused by fire, hot liquids, hot objects, or any other source of heat.

Chemical burns can be caused by acids, bases, solvents, or any other corrosive substance.

Electrical burns can be caused by contact with a live wire, contact with a faulty appliance, contact with a lightning strike, or any other source of electricity.

Radiation burns can be caused by exposure to the sun, exposure to X-rays, exposure to gamma rays, or any other source of radiation.

The first step in treating a burn is to cool the burn with water.

You should cool a burn with water for 10-15 minutes.

You should not apply ice to the burn, apply butter or oil to the burn, break blisters, or remove clothing or jewelry from the burned area.

You should seek medical attention for a burn if the burn is larger than 2 inches in diameter, if the burn is deep, if the burn is on the face, hands, feet, or genitals, or if the burn is causing severe pain.

The best way to prevent burns is to be careful around heat sources, wear protective clothing when working with chemicals, be aware of the dangers of electricity, and take other precautions to avoid burns.
