Burn injuries can be painful and have long term effects

The National Institute of Health (NIH), categorizes burns into three main types:

First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of the skin. They cause pain, redness, and swelling.
Second-degree (partial thickness) burns affect both the outer and underlying layer of skin. They cause pain, redness, swelling, and blistering.
Third-degree (full thickness) burns extend into deeper tissues. They cause white or blackened, charred skin that may be numb.

Aside from the burns themselves, there can be additional complications.

Bacterial infections
Bone and joint problems, such as when scar tissue causes the shortening and tightening of skin, muscles or tendons (contractures)
Breathing problems from the intake of hot air or smoke
Dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia)
Fluid loss, including low blood volume (hypovolemia)
Scars or ridged areas caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue (keloids)
