Burn wounds are wounds that occur when the skin and tissues are damaged by various reasons such as heat, chemicals, electricity or radiation. Burn wounds are divided into four different degrees according to their severity:

1. First Degree Burn: Affects the superficial skin layer, usually causing redness, mild swelling and pain. For example, sunburns are an example of this.
2. Second Degree Burn: It reaches deeper into the skin layer and is characterized by blisters. The skin becomes red, swollen and painful. These types of burns can be divided into two subcategories: superficial second degree and deep second degree.
3. Third Degree Burn: The entire skin layer burns and damages the underlying tissues. The skin may become white or dark, hard, and numb. Third-degree burns often require serious medical attention.
4. Fourth Degree Burn: This is the most serious type of burn and affects the muscles, bones, or organs under the skin. These types of burns can be life-threatening.

Treatment of burn wounds varies depending on the type and severity of the burn. Here are the treatment methods for burn wounds:

1. Cold Water: As a first aid, keeping the burned area under cold, clean water relieves pain and cools the skin.
2. Cleaning and Disinfection: The burned area should be cleaned and disinfected. However, if there is a shell or clothing stuck to it, it should not be removed.
3. Bandage: Covering second-degree burns with a clean bandage reduces the risk of infection.
4. Topical Creams: Antibiotics or pain-relieving creams can be used to heal burns and reduce pain.
5. Fluid Filling: In severe burns, intravenous (IV) fluid may be given to prevent fluid loss from the body.
6. Surgical Intervention: Surgical intervention may be necessary in third and fourth degree burns.
