Probably a second. It's marked by blisters.
Third degree burn
A second-degree burn causes epidermal and some dermal damage, resulting in pain and potential for regeneration. This type of burn typically affects both the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and the underlying layer (dermis), leading to symptoms such as redness, swelling, and blistering. Healing is possible, often with minimal scarring, although the regeneration process can take several weeks.
Yes, burns can damage nervous tissue. Burns are categorized as 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree. 1st degree: epidermis only 2nd degree: epidermis & part of dermis (sometimes called a 'partial thickness burn') 3rd degree: epidermis & entire dermis (full thickness burn). Nerves & blood vessels are embedded throughout the dermal layer. The extent & severity of the burn will determine the type & scope of nerve damage. Hope this helps!
Second-degree burn
Burns are characterized by degree, based on the severity of the tissue damage.
A 3rd degree burn would exhibit subsantial tissue damage and charring. Without more information it is impossible to determine the exact degree of burn: although it is very likely 1st or 2nd degree.
The burn needs to be deep enough to damage the hypo dermis and cutaneous layer.
The amount of damage. A first degree is usually redness and pain, a second degree burn blisters and a third degree burn destroys tissue.
Yes, it's a second degree burn. I burned my finger on a soldering iron, and I had the same symptoms.
* A partial thickness burn (second degree) affects both the outer layer of skin and the layer that lies underneath it (the dermis). The skin may have large blisters and the tissue is deep red, wet, and shiny. These burns are very painful.
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.
A third-degree burn, also called a full-thickness burn, destroys the entire depth of skin, causing significant scarring. Damage also may extend to the underlying fat, muscle, or bone.
