Usage Note
Brûlure is feminine (une brûlure) and refers to the injury caused by fire, heat, or a chemical. Brûlures d'estomac is the standard phrase for heartburn (literally 'stomach burns'). The first-degree to third-degree scale (brûlure au premier degré, etc.) is used the same way as in English medical contexts.
Examples
"Elle a une brûlure sur la main."
Natural Translation
She has a burn on her hand.
