Primary burn refers to the initial damage caused to tissues during a burn injury, typically characterized by the immediate physiological effects of heat exposure. This type of burn can result in varying degrees of skin damage, from redness and swelling in first-degree burns to blisters and deeper tissue destruction in second- and third-degree burns. The severity of a primary burn is assessed based on factors like depth, area affected, and the cause of the burn. Prompt medical treatment is crucial to prevent complications and promote healing.
