South Dakota: Burn Injury Types

Many steam burns are caused by boiling water and result in pain, redness, and blisters. Steam burns, like all burns, can range from mild to severe. The most severe type of steam burn, a third degree burn, will penetrate deep into the skin and the skin will appear white, heavily blistered, and numb. In addition to burning the skin, when steam is inhaled, it can burn the airways. Steam inhalation can cause serious damage to the bronchial tubes and even death in the most severe cases. When treating a steam burn, particularly a severe one, do not use water or ointments to cool the area because this may send the victim into shock.
