Types and symptoms of burns

Sunburn of the retina

The solar burn of the retina is caused by photochemical effects of solar radiation as a result of direct and indirect sun exposure.

Laryngeal burns

Burns of the larynx result from the same causes as the pharyngeal burns: ingestion and aspiration of caustic liquids, inhalation of corrosive fumes and hot smoke in case of fire. At the same time, trachea and bronchi can be affected.

Chemical burns of the esophagus

Chemical burns of the esophagus occur with the accidental or deliberate ingestion of caustic liquids, which exert a coagulating and denaturing effect on the proteins of the esophagus and stomach tissues, which leads to their destruction.

Throat burns

Burns of the pharynx occur most often with the conscious or erroneous intake of strong acids and alkalis. These burns are called chemical, in contrast to thermal burns, which can occur when the inhaled hot air is inhaled during a fire, explosions of combustible gas, etc.

Radiation burns of the auricle and external auditory canal

Radiation burns are caused by the energy of UV and radioactive radiation (intense infrared radiation causes a thermal burn). UV-burn occurs with individual intolerance of this type of radiation, or with its long exposure (UV-therapy - erythema therapeutic dose, insolation - beach burn).

Chemical burns of the auricle and external auditory canal

Chemical burns of the auricle and external auditory canal (as well as of other parts of the body) arise from the action of various aggressive substances that cause a local inflammatory reaction in contact with the living tissue, and coagulation of cell proteins and necrosis with considerable concentration and definite exposure.

Burns of the auricle and face

Burn - tissue damage caused by local action of high temperature, electric current, corrosive substance and radioactive radiation.

Chemical burns in children

Chemical burns are tissue damage caused by direct exposure to chemical agents. Most often affected face, hands, esophagus and stomach.

Thermal burns

Thermal burns are consequences of exposure to high temperature (open flame, hot liquid or solid matter) on the skin and underlying tissues.
