java Burn and injuries are the most common causes of weight loss. The two most common causes of burns are from hot water and from heat sources other than a stove top or oven.
Hot water burns can be painful, because they often involve damage to the layers of skin. They can also be dangerous because hot water burns can become infected.
Hot oil burns can be more severe than hot water burns, but they are less likely to cause infection. Hot oil burns should be treated by first cleaning the area with soap and water, then covering it with an ice pack for 20 minutes (or until the pain subsides). If this does not help, call a doctor.
