X15: Contact with hot household appliances

"Contact with hot household appliances" refers to a group of injuries typically caused by accidental interactions with high-temperature home devices. It includes burns, blisters, or other damage to the skin or internal tissues caused by exposure to heated items such as ovens, stoves, curling irons, and space heaters. The heat from such appliances can be transferred either directly or indirectly, causing immediate pain and damage to the outer layers of skin. If the contact is prolonged or exceptionally hot, it can result in more serious injuries that penetrate deeper layers of skin, potentially affecting underlying muscles or organs. Common symptoms of these injuries include redness, swelling, pain, and skin discoloration. In severe cases, there may be charring or loss of feeling in the affected area. The progression of these conditions often relates to the severity and location of the burn, as well as the person's overall health.
