What is a burn? 
A burn is a destruction of different layers of the skin, and the structures within the skin such as, sweat glands, oil glands and hair follicles. It can cause the skin to turn red or purple depending on how much damage was done.
Classification 
Burns are typically classified as first-degree, second-degree, or third-degree, depending on the depth of the burn and the degree of tissue damage. A first-degree burn, such as mild sunburn, affects only the surface layers of the skin. The burned area is red and tender. A second-degree burn affects deeper layers, causing blisters to form. Swelling also may occur. Many second-degree burns are caused by deep sunburn, contact with hot liquids or hot objects, or brief exposure to flames. 
A third-degree burn penetrates all of the layers of the skin and affects the tissues underneath. The skin may appear white, very red, or even charred. Most victims have no feeling in the area of a third-degree burn because the burn destroys nerve endings.
First aid care 
Burns should be cooled immediately by flushing the burned area with cool water or by applying cool, wet towels until the pain subsides or professional help arrives. Cooling the burned area immediately can help prevent the burn from worsening. Burns can be loosely wrapped in a sterile bandage to help prevent infection and reduce pain until professional medical help is obtained. 
Chemical burns should be flushed immediately with water for at least 20 minutes or until emergency medical assistance arrives. Have the victim remove any clothing or items such as glasses, goggles, or jewelry that have come in contact with the chemicals.
Conclusion 
This power point was about burns. I hope u found it educational and enjoy it!
