1st degree burn

Sun burn: harder edges, colour difference where the sun hit, red of where the sun has been hitting the skin all day and normal pale skin where the skin has been covered from the sun.

2nd degree burn and healing process

The second degree burn has a lot of different reds, pinks, orange and yellowish tones to it, the lines are blended and not straight or harsh edges. The process of the healing it turns to a more pinky tone and then starts to show a cracked dry skin look to it,

3rd degree burn
This third degree burn is pinky and yellowy colours with bits of black, I think as this burn was a different way of being burnt possibly from a fire or a acid caused burn. The edges are blended and smooth.

4th degree burn
The 4th degree burn is glossy and pussy yellow colour, with reds pinks and a few black tones. This also has no harsh edges its smooth blended edges.

When re-creating burns you need to think of what the background story of the burn is, for example either its a hot water burn, sun burn or even acid. You need to make sure your creating the right burn for the different causes as they are not all the same.
