3rd degree

The type of burn that involves the destruction of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layers is called a full-thickness burn, also known as a third-degree burn. To find this information, we can refer to medical resources or textbooks. In this case, the depth of burns is commonly categorized into degrees or levels.

First-degree burns only affect the outer layer of the skin (epidermis), causing redness, pain, and mild swelling. Second-degree burns extend into the second layer (dermis), leading to blistering and more severe pain. Lastly, third-degree burns, as you mentioned, involve the destruction of the epidermis, dermis, and even the subcutaneous layer beneath, often resulting in a charred appearance and loss of sensation.
