First-degree. These burns only affect the outer layer of your skin. A mild sunburn’s one example. Your skin may be red and painful, but you won’t have any blisters. Long-term damage is rare.

Second-degree. If you have this type of burn, the outer layer of your skin as well the dermis – the layer underneath – has been damaged. Your skin will be bright red, swollen, and may look shiny and wet. You’ll see blisters, and the burn will hurt to the touch.

1)In first degree burns, the top layer of the skin gets damaged but it is not destroyed and is less severe whereas in second degree burns, they are more severe than first degree burns.

2)Blisters are not observed in 1st degree burns but in 2nd degree burns blisters are observed.

3)1st degree burns are generally caused by hot liquids or grease coming in contact with the skin whereas 2nd degree burns are caused by sunburn or by chemical exposure. 

4) 1st degree burns can heal in three to four days whereas 2nd degree burns can either heal in ten to fourteen days or if more severe it can take three to eight weeks.

5) Generally 1st degree burns do not cause scarring but 2nd degree burns can.
