Hello! Burn injuries are generally classified into three degrees. First-degree burns only damage the surface of the skin. There is mild local swelling, no blisters, and significant pain. Second-degree burns refer to skin damage, local swelling and pain, as well as blisters of varying sizes. Third-degree burns affect the underlying tissue, including fat, muscle, and bone. They appear gray or reddish-brown. Based on the current condition, this should be a second-degree burn. It is important to rinse with cold water promptly and seek hospital treatment.
