Boiled hot water.......??

Question

is being boiled by hot water considered a first degree burn?

Answer 1

at least, most likely 2nd.  If so, get to a hospital quickly.

Answer 2

A first degree burn on your skin will instantly bubble and start to peel off.  You will be in so much pain, most people just pass out???

So if you were boiled by hot water, it would be a first degree burn if you stay in it long enough.  

But if you were "burned" by boiling water, it first depends on the severity of the burn, which you have to consider how much water, how long it was on your skin, is your skin bubbling and peeling?  Then you have a first degree burn, anything else.  probably less.  

Just to be on the safe side, you should go see a doctor immediately

Answer 3

um, its called "you have been just boiled by hot water".

Answer 4

The degrees of a burn that the doctors talk about depends on how many layers of your skin is damaged by that burn...first degree would be the top skin, which is what most of us experience in the kitchen.  then there is second degree burns, which are deeper then the third degree burns is right down into the sensitive under skin and muscle and other internal tissues.

Answer 7

Answer 8

It depends how long you were boiled. If you were just dipped in for a split second it might be 1st degree. If you were allowed to simmer until golden brown, that's probably a 3rd
