What are the 4 types of burns?

Answer 1

The 4 newer classifications of burns, other than by degree (first, second and third) are:

1. superficial thickness
2. partial thickness - superficial
3. partial thickness - deep
4. full-thickness

Answer 2

The 4 types of burns are first-degree burns, which affect the top layer of skin, second-degree burns, which affect both the top layer and underlying skin, third-degree burns, which destroy the full thickness of the skin and can extend into tissues below, and fourth-degree burns, which are the most severe and can also damage bone and muscle.
