It's considered a very serious serious injury. 3rd degree burns pretty much burns through into the subcutaneous tissue. It can destroy everything like your sweat glands and hair follicles. In really extreme cases even sensory nerve endings can be damaged.

There really isn't a mathematical formula to classifying burns. It all depends on the doctors assessment of the damage (how deep the damage is).

In most cases it won't heal naturally to bring the skin back to its old state. Sometimes surgical skin grafts will be needed to restore the skin.

i dont really know. i had both first and second degree burns and they both hurt like a @itch but my friend got 3rd degree burn on his left foot and it made him hella sick he got a fever and threw up. also if u get 3rd degree burns on a lot of ur body u can die.

because there is a strong loss of tissue.

very serious and prone to infections nothing to take lightly

A third degree burn is the most serious burn injury. This is simply because all of the protective layers surrounding your delicate blood vessels, nerves etc have been burnt away. The risks of infection are enormous owing to losing the epidermal layer, which is your body's first defence against infection. These risks are compounded by the resulting scar tissue which forms. The scar tissue can cause contractures, loss of function and scar tissue does not breathe. Therefore depending on how large an area has been effected will seriously compromise survival chances.

No skin to protect the body from infection.
