Difference between SCALD & BURN 

Both Scalds and Burns are injuries that occur due to exposure to heat, but they have some difference sources .

  1. Source of Heat:

Scalds specifically result from contact with hot liquids (such as boiling water, hot coffee, or steam) . Whereas , 

Burns: Burns can result from various heat sources, including flames, hot objects, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or even friction.

2. Nature of Injury:

Scalds are typically characterized as first-degree or second-degree burns, affecting the top layers of the skin. They often result in redness, pain, and blistering. Whereas ,

Burns can vary widely in severity, ranging from first-degree (superficial) burns, which affect the top layer of skin, to second-degree (partial-thickness) burns, which affect deeper layers, to third-degree (full-thickness) burns, which can damage all layers of skin and underlying tissues.

3. Common Causes:

Scalds often occur in kitchen accidents when hot liquids or steam are spilled, or when handling hot beverages or cooking with hot liquids. Whereas ,

Burns can happen in various scenarios, such as fires, contact with hot objects or surfaces, exposure to chemicals, electrical accidents, or sunburn.

4. Treatment:

The initial first aid for both Scalds and Burns often involves cooling the affected area with cold water, covering it with a clean cloth or sterile dressing, and seeking medical attention if the injury is severe.


SUMMARY 


Burns and scalds are damage to the skin caused by heat. A burn is caused by dry heat, for example, by an iron or fire. A scald is caused by something wet, such as hot coffee etc.  

It's important to differentiate between scalds and burns to provide appropriate first aid and medical care. Additionally, preventive measures like being cautious in the kitchen and around hot objects can help reduce the risk of both types of injuries.
