Scalds and Burns

Children are particularly vulnerable to burns because their skin is thinner than an adult's skin. A child's skin burns 4 times more quickly and deeply than an adult's at the same temperature. Serious burn injuries have long-term consequences for a child, often involving repeated skin grafts and up to two years of wearing compression garments.
