First Degree:

First degree burns are considered the least severe, these burns cause superficial damage, red skin, some pain and swelling.

Examples:

mild sunburn, touching a hot stove

Second Degree:

Second degree burns go deeper into the skin causing blisters and swelling. Often, sweat glands and hair follicles are affected.

Examples:

severe sunburn, scalding by hot water.

Third Degree:

Third degree burns are considered the most severe to receive, these types of burns destroy the skin and extend into the deeper tissue. Muscle, fat and bone may even be affected. However, because the nerve endings have been destroyed, these types of burns are typically not painful.

Examples:

contact with flames, electricity, hot liquid
