Typical Coursework. Most forensics positions require at least an associate degree in the applied sciences. Capitalizing on high demand for forensic science programs, many colleges and community colleges are now offering two-year degree programs.
Second-degree burns, known as partial thickness burns, are deeper than first-degree burns and are characterized by blotchy white, pink or red patches which cause blisters. In order to prevent infection, the blisters of second degree burns should be left alone. Second-degree burns may require antibiotics and intravenous fluid replacement. The most severe type of burn, a third-degree, known as a full thickness burn, penetrates through all layers of the skin and may injure tissue beneath skin, so the skin is not capable of healing itself.
Call 911 if: 1  The burn penetrates all layers of the skin. 2  The skin is leathery or charred looking, with white, brown, or black patches. 3  The burn blister is larger than two inches or oozes. 4  The hands, feet, face, or genitals are burned.  The person is an infant or a senior.
