This is false. Burns are actually classified into three different groups with third degree burns being the worst and most severe and first degree burns being bad but not life threatening. People with third degree burns can die from these types of burns and sometimes will need skin grafts or plastic surgery. First degree burns are usually the type you get from burning yourself on the oven.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
A burn is an injury to the skin or other tissues of the body caused by chemical or physical agents such as sun, heat, chemicals, radiation or electricity.
A burn causes cell destruction, edema (inflammation) and fluid loss due to the destruction of blood vessels.
Generally, burns cause the expulsion of a transparent liquid similar to water. There are different types of burns depending on their severity: first degree, second degree and third degree burns.
- First degree burns: these types of burns are considered the least serious, since they only produce superficial damage, that is, it only damages the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). First degree burns leave no sequels.
- Second degree burns: the outer layer of the skin and the one underneath are damaged. They are also known as partial thickness burns and involve a loss of skin function. They can be superficial or deep.
- Third degree burns: they are the most serious burns. The epidermis and dermis are destroyed and subcutaneous adipose tissue (fat), nerves, muscle and even bones are damaged. The patient may lose the sensitivity of the affected area.
