Burns are painful with intensity depending on the extent of the injury. When the skin encounters an excessive heat from chemical, flame, electricity, scalding liquid, steam or radiation including friction a person suffers a burn injury.
If the burn has blisters, redness, and a splochy appearance it is probably a second degree burn.Between 50,000 – 70,000 people are hospitalized for burns every year in the United States.

Pain management for burns can be difficult since burns differ in three types and severity.
First-degree burns are mild burn, resulting pain and reddening of the epidermis (outer layer of the skin).
Second-degree burns affect the epidermis and the dermis (lower layer of skin), resulting pain, redness, swelling, and blistering.
Third-degree burns affects deeper tissues, resulting white or blackened, charred skin that may be numb.
