Burns are quite often the most painful types of injuries. This is due to all the nerve endings on your epidermis. The pain from burns can be so severe that it can cause you to go into shock. The source of burn injuries can come from heat, electricity, sunlight, and nuclear radiation. There are three basic types of burns. First degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin. Second degree burns damage both the outer layer of skin and the layer beneath that layer. Third degree burns are characterized by the complete destruction of the skin to its full depth and damage to underlying tissues. This type of burn ofter requires skin grafting in order to repair the wound. Burns are also extremely dangerous because they often lead to infection due to the damage to the skin's protective barrier.
