A member asked:
Do i need to go to the doctor if i have a third degree burn on my leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A 3rd-degree burn is a full-thickness injury of the skin and would require an operation (skin grafting) to heal it. In contrast, a 2nd-degree burn is a partial-thickness injury and will heal on its own with good nutrition nd wound care.
