The road to recovery following burn injuries is long. The pain is extraordinary and the recovery difficult. The victim can be left with extensive and permanent scarring. Whereas the physical wounds heal, the emotional wounds may cause life-long suffering.

Burn injuries are categorized by the amount of tissue damaged as well as how deep the burn penetrates:
First Degree Burns
These burns impact the outermost portion of the skin (epidermis). First degree burns typically come with mild to moderate pain, redness, and swelling. The most common first degree burn is over-exposure to sunlight.
Second Degree Burns
Burns which penetrate into the dermis and present with blisters are usually classified as second degree burns. These burns are incredibly painful and will often require skin grafts to recover. Common causes include boiling liquids, fires, heating elements, ultra-hot gases, and chemical exposure.
Third Degree Burns
The most catastrophic burn a person can experience. This type penetrates the full thickness of the skin and damages underlying connective tissue and bones. Burns of this nature nearly always require reconstructive surgery. In some cases, a burn is so severe that a damaged limb may need to be amputated.
