Abstract

It is often difficult to determine the true extent of a burn, but most small thermal burns can be easily evaluated and managed by primary care physicians. In this article, the authors review the characteristics of different types of burns, describe those that require treatment in a burn center, and discuss appropriate measures to hasten healing and promote a satisfactory cosmetic outcome.
