With an estimated 486,000 people suffering from painful burns every year, these injuries are more common than we think. They may be caused by car accidents, chemical spills, or when the skin comes in contact with abrasive materials. Skin injuries may require extensive and costly medical care and rehabilitation.

Burn injuries can be some of the most painful injuries anyone can endure. Multiple factors may cause burn injuries. These include:

• Thermal burns – These are caused when the skin touches a hot object such as scalding liquid, steam, hot metal, or flames. The high temperature causes skin cells to die.
• Friction burns – When skin rubs against an abrasive, hard object, it can scrape it off. Friction burns are common in automobile and motorcycle accidents if a person comes in contact with the road or another hard surface.
• Chemical burns – Harsh chemicals, such as solvents and detergents, can cause burns if a person’s skin comes in contact.
• Electrical burns – Skin that touches an electrical current may be burned. Exposed wires or outlets may result in electrocution and damage a person's skin. These burns may also result from defective products wired improperly.
• First-degree burns are relatively minor. They can typically be treated at home. These burns cause the skin to become red and irritated. It might take a few weeks to recover from these injuries fully.
• Deeper burns that damage multiple layers of your skin need immediate medical treatment. The skin has a charred or black look. Damage at this level may reach beyond just the skin and impact a person's organs or bodily functions.
