Burn injuries are induced by skin exposure to intense heat. Burns are classified into three categories on the basis of strength, scale, and depth, namely first degree, second degree, and third degree. Medical practitioners use burn treatment options to treat such cases to relieve the damage, mitigate discomfort, minimise the risk of scarring, remove dead tissue, and increase the skin's overall healing potential. Burn care continues to evolve, with a primary emphasis on offering medical choices with minimal side effects. According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, burns are one of the most common occupational accidents, resulting in over 180,000 deaths each year.
