Yes, burns can damage nervous tissue. Burns are categorized as 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree. 1st degree: epidermis only 2nd degree: epidermis & part of dermis (sometimes called a 'partial thickness burn') 3rd degree: epidermis & entire dermis (full thickness burn). Nerves & blood vessels are embedded throughout the dermal layer. The extent & severity of the burn will determine the type & scope of nerve damage. Hope this helps!
