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.
The most common things you may notice at first are skin redness, pain, and swelling. The pain and swelling may be mild and your skin may start to peel after a day or so. In contrast, second-degree burns blister and are more painful due to an increased depth of the burn wound. For a first-degree burn that occurs in larger areas of your skin, you may experience an increased level of pain and swelling.
