A burn is an injury to a person's skin or flesh caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, friction, 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, risk is related to use of open cooking fires or unsafe stoves. Among men, risk is more related to the work environments.Alcoholism and smoking are other risk factors. Burns can also occur as a result of self harm or violence between people.
