What types of Burns require me to get medical care due to their location?

Burns that require medical care due to their location include those on the face, hands, feet, genitals, or over major joints, as these areas can impact function and healing. Additionally, burns that are deep (second-degree or third-degree) or cover a large surface area, particularly in sensitive areas, should be assessed by a medical professional. Burns in infants or elderly individuals also warrant immediate medical attention. Always err on the side of caution when it comes to burns in vulnerable populations or critical areas.
