    1. Skin burns are classified into four degrees based on the depth of skin layers involved and appearance. 2. First-degree burns only affect the outer epidermis and cause redness without blisters, healing within 5-10 days. 3. Second-degree burns extend deeper and cause redness with blisters, taking 2-3 weeks to heal but usually without scarring.
