Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This type of burn affects both the epidermis and the second layer of skin (dermis). It may cause swelling and red, white or splotchy skin. Blisters may develop, and pain can be severe. Deep second-degree burns can cause scarring.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is a second-degree burn? Second-degree burns (also known as partial thickness burns) involve the epidermis and part of the dermis layer of skin. The burn site appears red, blistered, and may be swollen and painful.

Detailed explanation-3: -These burns form blisters, are very painful, may seep fluid, and blanch when pressed (picture 2). Second-degree burns typically heal within 7 to 21 days. The burned area may permanently become darker or lighter in color and may form a scar. A scald burn that forms a blister is a good example of a second-degree burn.
