A third-degree burn, also known as a full-thickness burn, can be painless because it destroys the nerve endings in the affected area. While the burn itself may not cause pain, you may feel pain in the surrounding areas. Third-degree burns are the most severe type of burn and require immediate medical attention.
The burn site appears white or charred and may be dry and leathery. These burns are serious and often require skin grafting to heal properly.
