It can make your skin black, and it starts to char. You might not even feel any pain!

∙ 13y agoThe most painful burn is supposed to be the fifth degree burn. Anything above third-degree can possibly be fatal, because The only time I've been burned in my life was probably a first degree burn. I've had very good luck!
These are the degrees:
1st degree: Little pain (a sunburn would be an example).
2nd: Noticeable significant pain, blisters and even some skin peeling off possibly.
3rd: Very large amounts of pain. Results in scarring and may require grafting.
4th: Completely damages muscle and tendon. If it is not already fatal, grafting is required.
5th: Unbelievable pain. Complete destruction of epidermis. Likely to be fatal. (Read the P.S.)
P.S. (Fourth degree and fifth degree are actually burns that can happen, but they are not medical or scientific terms. That's why you only hear people going up to 3rd.)
Incorrect. The most painful is actually a mild second degree burn. Anything worse and it damages nerves, rendering them unable to send pain signals. Third degree burns aren't painful, but are usually surrounded by first and second degree burns, which are.
I got got second degree burns on three of my fingertips today. It's awful.

∙ 11y agoYes, a third degree burn is much worse than a first degree burn. A first degree burn is generally superficial (top few layers of skin) with minimal or no peeling of skin and is usually healed up within a few days to a week. A third degree burn goes through the entire thickness of the skin with significant damage and tissue loss; healing time is typically weeks to months with intense supportive care.

∙ 11y agoNo, it is the most serious of the three degrees, affecting all layers of the skin. Some lists include a "fourth degree burn" (destruction of skin and underlying tissues, muscles, or organs) but this goes beyond the injuries defined by the three layers of the skin.

∙ 10y agoNo, fourth is. Third degree is charred skin. Fourth degree includes burned muscle and/or bone.

Depending on the severity of this third degree burn you will either feel it just as much - if not more so - as with a second degree burn, although in third degree burns you risk nerve-damage, which will make you partially numb to the pain in some areas of the skin.Either way you will feel the pain of the burn, as the bordering skin will not be as affected by the burn and hence feel the pain of first and second degree burns.
