thermal burn
Flame-caused skin damage
A thermal burn is tissue damage caused by contact with heat sources—flames, hot liquids, steam, or heated objects.
The term distinguishes burns from heat from those caused by chemicals, electricity, or radiation.
Medical contexts use it for precision: The patient presented with thermal burns to both hands from a kitchen fire.
