A member asked:
What type of burn requires removal of dead tissue and a skin graft to heal properly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A 3rd-degree burn: 1st- and 2nd-degree burns are partial-thickness burns and will heal on their own, given good wound care and good nutrition. 3rd-degree burns are full-thickness burns and will require debridement of the burned dead tissue and skin grafting to heal.
