2) Second-degree burns—which can also be brought on by an accident at home—are typically much deeper than surface burns and can result in swelling, blisters, and skin peeling. While medical attention is required, first aid treatment can prevent further harm.

3) Third-degree burns are the most severe of all burns because of the depth of the damage (involving all skin layers, nerves, and blood vessels), the absence of initial pain, and the appearance of white leathery or black charred skin. Due to the high risk of death, these burn victims require immediate care and hospitalization.
