Wound - Second degree burn - research

We got our wounds this week, I am Partnered with Jess and we got second degree burns. Second degree burn is the most common household injuries, especially in children. Second degree burns usually blister and you can get some thickening of the skin. Can be caused from scalding from either hot or boiling liquids. Can also get a second degree burn from fire, including flames from matches, candles and lighters, and lastly you can also get these burns from excessive sun exposure. Second degree burns are more serious because the damage extends the first layer of skin. Second degree burns usually blisters and pops and makes the skin look wet.
