Paul had an accident and burned his arm on a hot stove. He feels a lot of pain, and blisters are forming. What kind of burn does Paul likely have?

Blisters and significant pain are typical signs of a second-degree burn, which affects deeper layers of skin than a first-degree burn. A first-degree burn usually causes redness and mild pain without blisters, while a third-degree burn damages deeper tissue and may not hurt as much at the burned area.
