BURNS ER

Symptoms of Burns

A burn injury can affect the skin and deeper tissues depending on its severity. Recognizing common signs can help you know when medical care is needed.

Red or Discolored Skin

Burned skin may appear red, pink, white, or darker depending on the depth of the injury.

Pain or Tenderness

Pain, burning, or tenderness may occur around the affected area after an injury.

Swelling

Swelling around the burned area may develop as the skin responds to the injury.

Blisters

Fluid-filled blisters may form after certain burns and should not be intentionally broken.

Peeling Skin

Damaged skin may peel, become dry, or change texture as the burn develops.

Numbness

Severe burns may damage nerves and cause numbness or reduced sensation in the affected area.

Charred Skin

Blackened, white, or charred skin may indicate a severe burn requiring immediate emergency care.

Breathing Problems

Burns involving the face, mouth, or airway may cause breathing problems and require immediate care.

Every time, day or late night, they've been great. This time I'd like to give a shout out to Adriana and Regina for a quick smooth check in. Thank you to the wonderful nurses and doctors!
