Question: Why do burns hurt.?.?.?
when you get burnt, what makes us pain.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
when you get burned you actually go through your protective layer which is technically dead skin. with your protective layer gone your nerve endings are exposed and that's what makes you hypersensitive to heat,cold, and pain. this is why many doctors suggest some type of ointment to put on the burned area to act as a faux layer of skin.Health Question & Answer

"Burns hurt because when the skin is burned, the skin tries to get rid of the heat as fast as possible. It does this by all the capillaries opening wide (most of them usually aren't). But when they stay wide open too long, they rupture, causing further damage, and sometimes tissue death."Health Question & Answer
