Explanation: 

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.
