It's easy to get a burn on your arm or hand from a hot pan while cooking. Extremely hot water — over 110 degrees Fahrenheit — can cause burns, as can stoves, fires, hot food and the sun.
Most burns are minor and you can manage them at home, but it's important to know the signs of a more serious burn. More severe burns can cause serious complications and may require emergency treatment. One of the most important things to do of you burn your hand is to act fast.
Burns cause different degrees of damage.
