THE DEGREE OF BURN

              In determining the severity of a burn includes establishing how deep damage goes into or through the skin. Burn thickness in most burn units.

              And also, what part of the skin will be conducted on the effects, it could be in the innermost or outermost of somebody's part of the skin, cause by burn and is classified by degree- the higher the number, the worst the burn. Therefore, it depends upon the situation either it is too harm.

              So, the first-degree burn. This means a superficial burn. The surface of the skin is damaged but the epidermis or the outermost layer of skin is still intact, and therefore it was able to perform its functions to control regular temperature and protect from infections or injury. When determining severity, care provides ignore first-degree burns.


Second-degree Burns 

             This means damage that has extended through the epidermis and into the dermis (the second layer of skin). Second-degree burns also known as partial thickness burns. It determines the severity of burns, the presence of second-degree indicates a loss of skin function. One of the example is blisters.
Blisters are the first sign of a second-degree burn. As epidermis is destroyed, it begins to separate from the dermis. Eventually, the blisters will spread into one another until the very thin epidermis falls away, exposing the roll dermis underneath.

            Therefore, it is not totally damages the inner skin and it can be threatened by a proper medication prescribe by the Doctor.

Third-degree Burn


           A third-degree burn is referred to as full thickness burn. This type of burns destroys the outer layer of skin(epidermis) the entire layer of skin beneath(dermis).

          And this style emphasis they are health hazardous, but the main principal concern to the prevention of it, the man's concern on his/her health. He/She is the primary one to protect himself/herself from the damaging effect of burns.
