Explanation / Answer

1. Changes in the skin on aging are unavoidable and occur irrespective of any insults to skin or other injuries. The following are the characteristics of aging skin:

2. A second degree burn involves the Epidermis and Dermis. The area appears red and swollen. In third degree burns, the subcutaneous tissue can also be involved along with the Epidermis and Dermis. The area appears charred and white.

Second degree burns: Red blisters may appear accompanied by fibrinous exudate. They usually heal without scarring but some pigmentation may occur. Hair regrows on the affected area.

Third degree burn: These burns are far more serious and may not even cause pain. They can cause charring, thickness of skin, waxy color, nerve damage. They can cause severe contracture and scarring with no hair growth in the area.
