First degree burns are superficial burns that only affect the top layer of the skin (epidermis). They are the mildest form of burns and typically do not blister. First degree burns account for about 60-70% of all burn injuries.
If the burn is bad enough you can smell a difference. It would have to a 2nd or 3rd degree burn though.
