A member asked:
I burned my hand in the upper element broiler. i didn't feel it. it charred the skin, leaving a pale patch in the middle. is this a 3rd degree burn?

Burns: If you did not feel any pain with the burn, it means you had a 3rd degree burn, as in 3rd degree burns your nerve endings get burned a swell thereby eliminating pain sensation. You should see a doctor if it is a large area of burn. 3rd degree burns can lead to scarring.
