 Radiation burn Radiation burns can be caused by X-rays or radiation therapy to treat cancer. Radiation burns can be caused by X-rays or radiation therapy to treat cancer. Burn symptoms vary depending on how deep the skin damage is. It can take a day or two for the signs and symptoms of a severe burn to develop. 
1st-degree burn. This minor burn affects only the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). It may cause redness and pain.
2nd-degree burn. This type of burn affects both the epidermis and the second layer of skin (dermis). It may cause swelling and red, white or splotchy skin. Blisters may develop, and pain can be severe. Deep second-degree burns can cause scarring.
3rd-degree burn. This burn reaches to the fat layer beneath the skin. Burned areas may be black, brown or white. The skin may look leathery. Third-degree burns can destroy nerves, causing numbness.
