Types of Burn Injuries and Common Causes

Burn injuries have four main types: thermal, electrical, chemical and radiation burns. Thermal burns are the most common. They stem from contact between the skin and a hot surface or object. Electrical burns are from a source of electricity, such as a live wire. Chemical burns are from acidic or basic chemicals that are caustic and damage the skin. Radiation burns are from exposure to high levels of radiation, such as from the sun or x-rays. 

Some of the most common causes of burn injuries in Peoria include:

• Hot liquid or steam 
• Cooking accidents
• Structural fires
• Grill or deep-fryer accidents
• Car accidents
• Friction burns
• Explosions 
• Chemical spills 
• Workplace accidents 
• Electrical accidents
• Fireworks
• Physical abuse

When a victim visits a physician for a burn injury, the doctor will first identify the source of the damage to recommend an appropriate treatment. Then, the doctor will categorize the burn into one of three degrees based on burn severity, with first-degree as the least serious and third-degree as the most serious. Depending on the severity of the burn, a victim may need wound cleaning, surgery, skin grafts, fluids and other medical treatments.
