Third-degree burns, also known as third-degree burns, hurt the entire skin layer, even as deep as subcutaneous, muscle, bone and so on. Skin necrosis and dehydration can form eschar, and the wound surface has no blisters, waxy white or brown, feels like leather, and even carbonizes.

Third-degree burns are characterized by sensory loss; The skin temperature is low. Natural healing is very slow, and it is necessary to support the eschar to fall off. After granulation tissue grows, it forms scars, with only epithelium at the edge, which not only loses skin function, but also often causes deformity. Some wounds are even difficult to heal themselves.

Third-degree burns, as long as the area exceeds a certain range, for example, as long as it exceeds about three times three centimeters, it should be said that there is almost no possibility of self-healing.
