Hyperemia associated with dermal burns

Hyperemia associated with dermal burns
The photograph to the left shows deep partial- and full-thickness flame burns on the patient's back. Note the rim of erythema that exactly follows the wound border. This rim is hyperemia, not cellulitis. The photograph to the right shows full-thickness scald burns of the lower extremities. Note the rim of erythema that exactly follows the wound border, which again is hyperemia, not cellulitis.
