A Burn is a type of damage to the skin, or other tissues, caused by fire, cold, power, chemicals, irritation, or radiation. Most burns are due to heat from hot liquids, solids, or fire. While rates are similar for males and females the underlying causes often differ. Among women in some areas, the risk is related to the use of open cooking fires or unsafe cookstoves. Among men, the risk is related to work environments. Alcoholism and smoking are other risk factors. Burns can likewise occur as an outcome of self-harm or violence between people.
