The cutaneous burn and the problem of effective therapy, especially in the more extensive ones, is profound and interest in it dates back many decades. In this paper, we are presenting the problem of cellular injury resulting from the application of heat to living tissue, otherwise known as a "thermal burn". There are numerous varieties of thermal burns aptly named according to the physical nature of the heat emitting agent. Amongst these are electrical burns resulting from contact with a “live electric current”, flash burns secondary to intense radiant energy, flame burns produced by contact with flames from any flamable agent, and scald burns resulting from contact with high temperature liquids to mention only a few.
