What is a "third-degree burn"?

A third-degree burn is a severe burn that extends through all layers of the skin, damaging the outer layer of the skin, the underlying layer, and sometimes even deeper tissues like muscles and bones. The affected area may look white or blackened, and it often feels numb due to nerve damage. Healing from a third-degree burn is a lengthy process and typically requires medical treatment, including skin grafts, surgery, and extensive wound care. These burns can cause significant scarring and permanent tissue damage. Immediate medical attention is crucial for proper treatment and recovery.
