because a third degree burn burned through your nerve endings so you cant feel it First degree burns only touch the surface of the skin, leaving a lot of the nerves unharmed, and free to report the pain back to your brain, third degree burns are much more painful and deep, meaning that the nerves(which are only protected by a thin layer of flammable fat) can be damaged, and unable to report the pain back(it also causes that tingling feeling as the nerves start to repair themselves).
