What is Burn Wound?

A burn wound is an injury to the skin and underlying tissue caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, friction, or radiation, resulting in damage ranging from superficial redness to full-thickness destruction of skin and deeper structures. Burns are classified by depth into first, second, and third degree, and by the percentage of total body surface area affected, both of which guide treatment and determine prognosis. Extensive or deep burns can cause severe fluid loss, infection risk, and long-term scarring or functional impairment, making prompt and specialized care essential, particularly for burns covering large areas or involving the face, hands, or joints.
