skin burns
Painful tissue injuries
Skin burns are injuries to skin tissue caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or friction.
The term covers the range from minor sunburns to severe thermal injuries requiring medical treatment.
Burns are classified by degree—first-degree affecting only the outer layer, through third-degree destroying deeper tissue.
