Question:
What layer of the skin is implicated in level one skin burn, and what layer of
the skin is implicated in level four skin burn?
Answer:
The depth and severity of a burn determine its degree, and the skin layers
affected by each degree of burn are different:
First-degree (superficial) burn affects only the epidermis or outer layer of
skin.
Fourth-degree (full-thickness) burns affect all layers of the skin, as well as
underlying tissue, muscle, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and bones.
