Fourth degree burns are most commonly fatal to the burn victim. Following is a brief description of each class of burn injury.

" First-degree burn injury - Causes redness of the skin, also known as erythema. A first degree burn injury also causes minor pain and a white plaque discharge at the site of the burn injury. A first degree burn injury only involves the outer skin layer.

" Second-degree burn injury - Usually more serious than a first degree burn injury. The second degree burn causes redness as well, including blistering on the outer skin. Second-degree burns affect the outer layer of skin, also known as the papillary dermis, and also may affect deeper within the skin of the victim, also known as the reticular dermis.

" Third-degree burn injury - Causes most of the outer layer of skin, known as the epidermis, to be lost. Third-degree burns can also cause damage to additional parts of the body, such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles. The skin can also become charred from a third-degree burn injury. Sometimes large scabs will form because of the burn injury, which has separated from the unaffected part of the body. These scabs are known as eschars. Third-degree burn injuries cause massive scarring, and could be fatal if the area that is affected is large enough. The risk of infection also increases with this type of burn injury.
