Final answer:

Third-degree burns on the scalp do not lead to hair regrowth in that area and require medical attention.

Step-by-step explanation:

A third-degree burn on the scalp would not lead to hair regrowth in that area.

Third-degree burns fully extend into the epidermis and dermis, destroying the tissue and affecting the nerve endings and sensory function. These burns may appear white, red, or black.

Because third-degree burns damage the local tissues used for repair, they require medical attention and will heal slowly without it.
