Patients in this situation try to survive lots of skin grafting procedures and burn unit care at a tertiary hospital system.
If a person lost 50 percent of their functional skin surface, they would be likely to die. They would be susceptible to infection and the effects of harmful solar radiation.
To compensate for the loss of 50 percent of a person's functional skin surface, the environment can be modified by implementing moisture control systems, such as humidifiers, to maintain skin hydration and prevent dryness. Additionally, the use of protective clothing and specialized wound dressings can safeguard the remaining skin and promote healing. Creating a controlled environment with temperature regulation may also help reduce stress on the skin. Lastly, integrating assistive technologies for mobility and daily activities can enhance independence and quality of life.
Skin cells on the surface are dead and therefore do not contain any functional organelles. The hypodermal layer (the layer beneath the visible skin) has active cells and contains ribosomes.
