Burns that affect only the superficial skin layers are known as superficial or first-degree burns. [2] [11] They appear red without blisters, and pain typically lasts around three days. [2] [11] When the injury extends into some of the underlying skin layer, it is a partial-thickness or second-degree burn. [2]
Silver sulfadiazine, sold under the brand Silvadene among others, is a topical antibiotic used in partial thickness and full thickness burns to prevent infection.

Burn scar contracture is the tightening of the skin after a second or third degree burn. When skin is burned, the surrounding skin begins to pull together, resulting in a contracture. It needs to be treated as soon as possible because the scar can result in restriction of movement around the injured area. This is mediated by myofibroblasts. [1]

Small full thickness wounds under 2mm reepithelize fast and heal scar free. [19] [20] Deep second-degree burns heal with scarring and hair loss.
