The visual presentation of burns and burn problems is critical to the understanding of burn management. We at Ask The Burn Surgeon present a series of burn pictures and videos that should help the reader understand and learn more about burns as well as create burn awareness. One should look at the pictures and try to identify the post burn day, the cause of burn (in some cases), the depth of the burn, healing or non healing burn wounds, the need for surgery, skin grafting or flap reconstuction and the presence of infection. We have provided only a heading for the burn pictures as the page is still under construction and as we add more pictures and videos, we encourage our readers to ask questions freely, which will be answered in detail on this site regarding any picture or patient. Please quote the image number to identify the image.
