Prompt, Professional Treatment for Safe Skin Recovery

Burns can occur from heat, chemicals, friction, or electricity and vary in severity from mild redness to deeper skin damage. Early and appropriate care is essential to relieve pain, prevent infection, and reduce the risk of scarring. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we offer expert burn management tailored to the burn’s depth, location, and healing stage.

What Are the Types of Burns?

Burns are classified by depth and severity:

• First-degree burns: Affect the outermost skin layer, causing redness, mild swelling, and pain (e.g., sunburn)
• Second-degree burns: Involve deeper layers of skin, often with blisters, moist appearance, and moderate pain
• Third-degree burns: Extend through the full skin thickness and may appear pale, leathery, or charred (referred to specialized burn centers)

Minor first- and second-degree burns can be safely and effectively treated in a dermatology clinic.

Common Causes of Minor Burns

• Hot water or steam (scalds)
• Contact with heated surfaces or flames
• Chemical spills (household cleaners, acids)
• Sunburn or radiation exposure
• Friction burns (from falls or sports injuries)

Quick action within the first few hours of injury is critical for minimizing long-term skin damage.
