How can i heal a 3rd degree burn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Full thickness: 3rd degree burns are full thickness burns that require debridement and aggressive dressing changes. Infection is a very possible complication so sterile dressings and wound care is imperative. Seek care with plastic surgeon or burn specialist.
