PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -While first-degree (superficial) burns heal naturally, more severe burns require skin grafts. Deep second-degree burns and third-degree (full thickness) burns aren’t able to naturally replace damaged skin cells on their own. Skin grafts enable these severe types of burns to heal quickly and with minimal scarring.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is a third-degree burn? A third-degree burn is referred to as a full-thickness burn. This type of burn destroys the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and the entire layer beneath (or dermis).

Detailed explanation-3: -Third-degree burns damage or completely destroy both layers of skin including hair follicles and sweat glands and damage underlying tissues. These burns always require skin grafts.
