Burn Types
First Degree Burn
First degree burn picture   Superficial - First degree burns typically take 3 to 6 days to heal. The superficial or first layer of skin is damaged.
Examples of a superficial - First degree burn are: mild sunburns, contact burn injuries, or heat burns.
Second Degree Burn
Second degree burn picture   Superficial - Second degree burns usually heal in less than 3 weeks depending on severity. The deeper or thicker
the burned skin the longer the injury make take to heal.
Third Degree Burn
Third degree burn picture   Deep - Third degree burns are severe and may require skin graphs and a protracted recovery period - more than 3 weeks. Full-thickness burns, without skin grafts, heal only at the edges by scarring. A skin graft is a very thin layer of skin that is cut from an unburned area on the body and put on a badly burned area.
