A Burn in the Second Degree.

A burn is defined as damage to tissues of the body caused by contact with things such as heat, radiation, or chemicals. A second-degree burn affects the outer layer of skin medically known as the epidermis and part of the inner layer of skin. If your child has encountered a second degree burn, what probably caused it?

Here are some possibilities –

 

1. They were scalded by very hot water
2. Flames have burnt their skin
3. Chemicals
4. Electricity
