Burns can be caused by a number of different things: exposure to chemicals, electrical currents and exposure to intense heat or radiation. Their severity of the injury will depend on the extent of the burn area and its depth. Moderate burns will usually leave heavy scarring while severe burns can go as far as being life threatening.

Common Treatment Options for Minor Burn Scars
