It is the most superficial hence classified as the least serious one. The outermost layer of the skin (epidermis) is not burned through. The skin here do not blister. Skin usually looks reddish, swollen and with pain sensation. While this degree of burn is considered a minor one, its size and location are important factors as well. .Greater emphasis should be given on areas of function and with thin skin like hands, feet, face, neck, groin, buttocks or major joints . If the skin lesion is bigger than 3 inches and located in those mentioned areas, it shall be considered then a major burn hence should seek medical help.
Second-degree burn
Superficial
This has involved the upper layer of second layer (dermis) of the skin and form blisters. .Second degree burn originally appears to be first degree burn until 12 to 24 hours from the time of injury where characteristic blistering of the skin is noted. The wounded skin is hypersensitive, pinkish , wet and blanch with pressure.
Deep
The lower reticular layer of the dermis is affected. The burned skin looks pale and mottled , do also form blisters, and when pressure is applied, capillary refill is slow or may be absent. One is noted to complain more of discomfort rather than pain. There is also decreased sensation on affected area. .

If burn is accompanied by smoke inhalation, one may experiencedifficulty of breathing because of toxic gases like carbon monoxide.The area of concern would look charred or cherry red or white and dry.
Fourth degree
While this degree of burn is painless, it is the one that not onlyinvolves all layers of the skin but fats and the deeper structures, even bone.It is usually the cause of injury that determines this degree of burn.
