BURNS

A burn is damage to your bodies tissues caused  by heat,chemicals,electricity, sunlight or radiation.  Scalds from hot liquids and steam, building fires and flammable liquids and gases are the most common causes of burns.

The depth of the burn determines its severity.

First degree burns damage the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and cause pain, redness and swelling (erythema).

Second degree burns damage the epidermis and the inner layer, the dermis, causing erythema and blistering. 

Damage from third degree burns extend into the hypo-dermis  causing destruction of the full thickness of the skin with its nerve supply. Third degree burns leave scars and may cause loss of function and/or sensation.

Burns can cause severe swelling, blistering, scarring and, in serious cases, shock and even death. they can also lead to infections because they damage the skins protective barrier. Derma-Kure Cream can prevent or treat infections. After a third degree burn, you need skin or synthetic grafts to cover exposed tissue and encourage new skin to grow. First and second degree burns usually heal without grafts.
