Which type of burn causes blisters and intense pain?

The correct choice is the type of burn known as partial thickness. Partial thickness burns affect both the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and part of the underlying layer (dermis). This depth of injury results in symptoms such as blisters, which are fluid-filled pockets that form as the body reacts to tissue damage. Additionally, these burns are characterized by intense pain due to the exposure of nerve endings in the partially damaged dermis.

In contrast, superficial burns primarily impact only the epidermis, typically causing redness and minor pain without severe blistering. Full thickness burns destroy both the epidermis and dermis, leading to significant tissue damage where nerves are also destroyed, meaning there's often little to no pain sensation in the affected area. The term "time thickness" appears to be a typographical error or misunderstanding and does not correspond to a recognized category of burn. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of partial thickness burns is essential for appropriate treatment and management in first response scenarios.
