If you’ve ever sipped a hot cup of coffee or washed dishes with hot water, you may have experienced a hot water burn. Many burns are caused by dry heat from a fire, hot iron, or stove. A burn caused by something wet — like steam or hot water — is called a scald.

According to the Burn Foundation, more than 500,000 scald burns happen in the United States each year. Children under the age of 5 and elders over the age of 65 are at the most risk for these burns.

Hot water scalding can cause pain and damage to the skin from moist heat or vapors. This type of burn can be dangerous because it destroys affected tissues and cells. Your body may even go into shock from the heat. In more serious cases, these burns can be life-threatening.
