With what type of burn could you possibly not feel pain

Third degree burns are the worst type of burns, but you actually don’t feel a thing! This is because the nerve endings themselves are burned off.

Third-degree burns affect all three skin layers: epidermis, dermis and fat. The burn also destroys hair follicles and sweat glands. Because third-degree burns damage nerve endings, you probably won't feel pain in the area of the burn itself, rather adjacent to it.
