Health Consultation Description: Why is a third degree burn the worst?


Expert Reply

Condition analysis:
A 3rd degree burn destroys both layers of skin. The epidermis and dermis. It also destroys some or all of the underlying structures - nerves, blood vessels, fat, muscles, and bones. Severe heat or fire and electrical burns or lightning can cause 3rd degree burns. 3rd degree burns can look charred (black) or waxy white. They're usually painless because the burn destroys the nerve endings in the skin. 3rd degree burns can be life threatening if extensive cause of fluid loss that leads to shock. Infection is also likely. Scarring occurs and can be severe. Many 3rd degree burns require skin grafts. That's why it's the worst.

Instructions:
1. Vitamins C and E: You associate vitamin C with colds, but did you know it can play a role in everything from UTIs to soothing skin? Vitamin C promotes wound healing and the production of collagen, the base material for new skin. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps repair and protect your skin. To speed the healing of a burn, one home remedy is to eat foods rich in vitamins C and E or take 2,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 1,000 IU of vitamin E for a week or so after your burn. You can even break open a vitamin E capsule and apply it directly on the burn to help it heal and prevent scarring.
