Burns are a type of tissue damage. They're common. You may get one if you're exposed to too much heat or radiation (like from the sun). Strong chemicals, electricity, and friction can also cause them.
Mild burns usually heal on their own with home treatment, but major ones can cause serious harm. Some are life-threatening. Go to the hospital or call 911 if you have a deep burn or one that covers a large area of your body. You may need medical attention right away.

There are several types of burns. The kind you have depends on how deep the burn goes under your skin and whether it damages other tissue, such as fat, muscle, or bone.
