Question

A burn that is determined to have charred all layers of skin and at least some deeper structures beneath the skin is classified as what type of burn?.

Answer 1

Third-degree (full thickness) burns

Third-degree burns destroy the epidermis and dermis. Third-degree burns may also damage the underlying bones, muscles, and tendons. The burn site appears white or charred. There is no sensation in the area since the nerve endings are destroyed.
