Question
What are the effects on a child’s hands and legs when they suffer from burn injuries during a fire?
Answer
Burns are generally categorized into three degrees, ranging from mild redness and swelling in first-degree burns, to blisters and pain in second-degree burns, to severe damage to the subcutaneous tissue in third-degree burns. Severe scar formation often requires skin grafting treatment, but it does not affect the child’s growth and development.
