Question

help

Answer 1

First-degree burns cause redness and pain (e.g., sunburn). Second-degree burns are marked by blisters (e.g., scald by hot liquid). In third-degree burns, both the epidermis and dermis are destroyed, and underlying tissue may also be damaged.

Answer 2

First degree burns turns your skin slighly red and a slight pain in the area while 2nd degree burns turns your skin grayish with much pain but have no damage in the skin tissues.

Answer 3

First Degree Burns
The top layer of skin is damaged but not destroyed.
The top layer of skin turns bright pink or very red.
The pain can vary from mild to extreme.
No skin comes off and there are no blisters.
Some very thin skin may flake or peel off a few days later.
Mild sunburns are a good example but 1st degree burns may be caused by other things as well.

Second Degree Burns
The top layer of skin is destroyed.
The top layer of skin may slide off or get fluid under it forming a blister usually within the first 24 hours, sometimes within minutes.
The second layer of skin is damaged but not destroyed.
When the top layer of skin comes off, the second layer is exposed.
The second layer of skin appears red or pink and moist.
These are the most painful kind of burn and one of the most painful types of injuries, period.
If you have seen a blister, you have seen a second degree burn.

Third Degree Burns
The top layer of skin is destroyed.
The top layer of skin may slide off or fall off easily.
The second layer of skin is destroyed as well but does not come off.
When the top layer of skin comes off, the second layer is exposed.
The second layer appears white, gray, yellow, brown or black and is usually dry.
These burns are usually not as painful.
