    GlossaryThermal Injury (Burn)

    skin damage caused by heat sources like fire or steam

    Thermal injury, also known as a burn, occurs when skin or other tissues are damaged by heat, such as from fire, hot liquids, steam, or hot objects. These injuries can range from mild, affecting only the outer layer of skin (first-degree burns), to severe, involving deeper tissues and potentially causing significant complications (third-degree burns). Proper treatment is crucial to prevent infection and promote healing.
