Burns are typically classified into 3 categories:

• First Degree Burn: often has pink or reddish appearance with a low to medium level of pain
• Second Degree Burn: typically are pink-pale, moist, and may blister. Second degree burns are often characterized by marked discomfort
• Third Degree Burn: typically pale-white, charred, or dry. Even though these are the most severe types of burns, they can often be painless at first.

If you have suffered any type of burn, it is critical that you seek medical attention immediately. While burns are typically caused by fires and explosions, such events can result from motor vehicle collisions, fireworks, construction site disasters, and improperly maintained gas lines.
