A third-degree burn destroys both the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, leading to significant structural damage. This type of burn can result in the loss of skin's protective barrier, impairing its ability to heal and increasing the risk of infection. The damage may also affect underlying tissues, including fat, muscle, and nerves, potentially causing permanent scarring and loss of sensation in the affected area. Additionally, third-degree burns often require medical intervention, such as skin grafts, to promote healing and restore skin integrity.
