You are assisting a burn victim. The layers of skin and tissues are permanently damaged. The muscles and bones are affected by the burn too. Which type of burn is it?

It would be a sixth degree burn

Step-by-step explanation:

First degree burns happen on the outer layer of your skin, they heal on their own. An example of this is a sun burn.

Second degree burns burn the outer layer of the skin and the dermis, which is the layer underneath the epidermis (or the outer layer of skin). They normally leave a scar.

Third degree burns destroy all of the layers of skin, they burn hair follicles, sweat glands, etc. You will be hospitalized.

Fourth degree burns burn into fat.

Fifth degree burns burn into muscle and

Sixth degree burns burn into bones.

Hope this helps!
