About the Symptom
Burns cause tissue damage from heat, sun overexposure, radiation, chemical or electrical contact.
Possible Causes
Generally, Burned can be related to:
- First Degree Burn
Burn of the outer layer of the skin. The skin is red, warm, and painful.
- Burn/Scald of Roof of Mouth
Palatal thermal injury or palatal burn happens when the roof of the mouth (palate) gets damaged from coming into contact with heat or hot substances.
- Photosensitivity
A condition in which the skin is extremely sensitive to sunlight and ultraviolet rays. It can be caused by medications and autoimmune disease (body's immune system attacking its own cells).
Related Serious Diseases
Sometimes, Burned may be related to these serious diseases:
- Third Degree Burn
Third degree burns, or full-thickness burns, are burns that destroy the skin and might damage the underlying tissue. They are more severe than first or second degree burns and always need immediate medical care.
- Second Degree Burn
