T30: Burn and corrosion, body region unspecified

Burns and corrosions are injuries to the body's tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight, or radiation. These injuries occur when an unspecified region of the body comes into contact with a harmful substance or source. The symptoms often depend on the severity of the burn or corrosion, which generally falls into three categories: first degree (where only the outer layer of skin is affected), second degree (where the outer and underlying layer of skin are damaged), and third degree (where deep tissues are injured). Common symptoms include pain, redness, swelling and blisters, and in more severe cases, charred and white-colored skin. As the injury progresses, other systems in the body, such as the immune system, may be affected, which could potentially lead to infections. Burns and corrosions are acute issues that require immediate medical attention to prevent potential complications.
