Burn injuries have multiplied in recent years and are considered a major problem. Thankfully it has been in these past several years that medical professionals have truly begun to realize and understand the problems associated with burns. Statistics show that at least fifty percent of burn injuries could have been prevented. But, until we raise more awareness about burn safety we are forced to deal with the after effects which are burn scars.

Types of Burns

Burn scarring depends on the type of burn. The severity of the burn is determined by the person's age, as well as the size and depth of the burn. Most commonly, burns are categorized by depth into degrees from first to third. First degree burns involve minimal tissue, they affect only the epidermis, or the skin surface. They are characterized by pain, redness, and swelling. With proper treatment of first degree burns it is possible to prevent burn scars. The treatment begins with a flush or soak of the injured area which then should be covered by a sterile non adhesive bandage to be protected from friction or pressure. A second degree burn affects the outer layer (epidermis) and the under lying layer of skin (dermis) and causes redness, pain, swelling, and blisters. Damage can be done to hair follicles and sweat glands due to second degree burns. To heal burns of the second degree, you should first elevate the wound and cover it with a cool moist sterile bandage to protect it. Do not apply cold water, compresses or ointment and make sure the burn area stays clean. A third degree burn appears charred or white and affects the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. These burns are so deep that they do damage to the skin tissue and often leave the skin feeling numb. To treat third degree burns, follow the same steps as those for second degree and make sure you get the victim to the nearest hospital.

Types of Burn Scars

The body's process to heal burns is similar to the healing of other injuries, meaning that it is likely to result in a scar. There are three major types of burn related scars: Keloid, hypertrophic, and contractures. Keloid scars are thick and raise above the skin's surface as well as grow beyond the site of the injury. Hypertrophic scars have a similar appearance to keloids, but will not progressively grow beyond the area of the wound. A contracture scar is a permanent tightening of the skin that may affect underlying muscles and tendons, limiting mobility.

Surgical Procedures

There are two major types of surgical burn scar removal procedures that can help conceal scarring due to burns: Dermabrasion and skin grafts. Dermabrasion is able to reduce the appearance of scars, restore skin flexibility and improve disfigurement. This procedure smoothes scars by shaving or scraping off the top layers of the skin. This can smooth the surface of the skin, but will not remove the scars. A skin graft is a surgical procedure in which a piece of skin from one area of the patient's body is transplanted to another area of the body. Skin grafts are done under general anesthesia and often require at least 6 weeks and up to a few months to heal. The majority of skin grafts are successful, however some require additional surgeries if the initial graft does not heal properly.
