Detailed explanation-1: -Third-degree burns that are deep and affect a large portion of skin are very serious and can be life-threatening. Even first-and second-degree burns can become infected and cause discoloration and scarring. First-degree burns don’t cause scarring.
Detailed explanation-2: -Third-degree: There may be no pain in the area because the nerves may be destroyed, although there will likely be pain around the site, where the burns are not as deep. People with third degree burns are at particular risk for dehydration, infection, and sepsis.
Detailed explanation-3: -An infection can usually be treated with antibiotics and painkilling medication, if necessary. In rare cases, an infected burn can cause blood poisoning (sepsis) or toxic shock syndrome. These serious conditions can be fatal if not treated.
Detailed explanation-4: -A third-degree burn damages the top layer of your skin (epidermis), the middle layer of your skin (dermis) and the layer of fat underneath your skin (hypodermis). A third-degree burn can also damage your sweat glands, hair follicles and nerve endings.
