If left untreated, the edges will heal and the rest will become covered in scar tissue. New skin will be unable to grow. A common treatment for third degree burns is skin grafting, in which skin is taken from a donor site and surgically placed on the burn. This helps with closure of the burn and regrowth of some skin, however there will still be scars.

What are the degree of burns?

Burns occur in three degrees. They are first-degree burns, second-degree burns, and third-degree burns. First-degree burns are the least detrimental and serious of the three burns. The burn is superficial and shows as red and tender skin. A common example of this type of burn is sunburn. Sunburns show up as red skin, covering a large area of skin usually, but they will usually not contribute to future problems. Aloe vera, a medicinal plant, is commonly used to treat first-degree burns. You don't normally need to refer to a doctor to treat this. Second-degree burns are a bit more serious and penetrates deeper into the skin. They commonly leave behind blisters on the skin. An example of this is being burnt by extremely hot water. They are obviously very painful and will become serious if a large area of skin is affected. It is rare for these types of burns to leave behind scars. Lastly, third-degree burns are the most detrimental out of all three. These burns go deep into the skin and destroys all skin layers. They definitely leave behind their marks as charred skin and scars. Victims don't get hurt because the burn destroys the nerves. Some serious consequences of this are scars, infection, and fluid loss. Seeing a doctor is highly recommended.


Can a third degree burn patient go into respiratory failure?

Yes, a patient with third-degree burns can go into respiratory failure. This can occur due to several factors, including inhalation of smoke or toxic gases, which can damage the airway and lungs, as well as the systemic effects of severe burns that lead to fluid loss, infection, and metabolic imbalances. Additionally, if the burns cover a large surface area, the resulting stress on the body can negatively impact respiratory function. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to manage these risks.
