What are the different types of burn injuries, and how are they classified?

Burn injuries are typically classified into three main categories based on the depth and severity of tissue damage: first-degree burns, second-degree burns, and third-degree burns. First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of the skin, causing redness and pain. Second-degree burns affect deeper layers of the skin, causing blisters, pain, and swelling. Third-degree burns are the most severe, penetrating all layers of the skin and potentially affecting underlying tissues, nerves, and bones. They may appear white, black, or charred and can result in numbness due to nerve damage.
