Burns occur in three degrees. They are first-degree burns, second-degree burns, and third-degree burns.

First-degree burns are the least detrimental and serious of the three burns. The burn is superficial and shows as red and tender skin. A common example of this type of burn is sunburn. Sunburns show up as red skin, covering a large area of skin usually, but they will usually not contribute to future problems. Aloe vera, a medicinal plant, is commonly used to treat first-degree burns. You don't normally need to refer to a doctor to treat this.

Second-degree burns are a bit more serious and penetrates deeper into the skin. They commonly leave behind blisters on the skin. An example of this is being burnt by extremely hot water. They are obviously very painful and will become serious if a large area of skin is affected. It is rare for these types of burns to leave behind scars.

Lastly, third-degree burns are the most detrimental out of all three. These burns go deep into the skin and destroys all skin layers. They definitely leave behind their marks as charred skin and scars. Victims don't get hurt because the burn destroys the nerves. Some serious consequences of this are scars, infection, and fluid loss. Seeing a doctor is highly recommended.
