    The document discusses the signs, symptoms, and treatment of different degrees of burns, including first, second, and third degree burns. First degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin, second degree burns go deeper into the dermis, and third degree burns extend through all layers of skin. Treatment depends on the severity, with first degree burns treated by soaking in cold water and dressing, while more severe burns may require fluid resuscitation, antibiotics, analgesics, skin grafting, or other specialized care.
