Cold burns can occur when skin is exposed to something that is extremely cold such as snow or ice. Cold burn is most common in the toes and fingers. Someone who steps on a cold surface may experience a cold burn.
You can get burned by heat and fire, radiation, sunlight, electricity or chemicals. There are three degrees of burns: Thin or superficial burns (also called first-degree burns) are red and painful. They swell a little. They turn white when you press on them. The skin over the burn may peel off in 1 or 2 days. Thicker burns, called superficial partial-thickness and deep partial-thickness burns (also called second-degree burns), have blisters and are painful. Full-thickness burns (also called third-degree burns) cause damage to all layers of the skin.
