| Type | Layers involved | Appearance | Texture | Sensation | Healing Time | Prognosis | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Superficial (1st-degree) | Epidermis | Red without blisters | Dry | Painful | 5–10 days | Heals well. | |
| Superficial partial thickness (2nd-degree) | Extends into superficial (papillary) dermis[1] | Redness with clear blister.[1] Blanches with pressure.[1] | Moist[1] | Very painful[1] | 2–3 weeks[1][2] | Local infection (cellulitis) but no scarring typically[2] | |
| Deep partial thickness (2nd-degree) | Extends into deep (reticular) dermis[1] | Yellow or white. Less blanching. May be blistering.[1] | Fairly dry[2] | Pressure and discomfort[2] | 3–8 weeks[1] | Scarring, contractures (may require excision and skin grafting)[2] | |
| Full thickness (3rd-degree) | Extends through entire dermis[1] | Stiff and white/brown.[1] No blanching.[2] | Leathery[1] | Painless[1] | Prolonged (months) and incomplete[1] | Scarring, contractures, amputation (early excision recommended)[2] | |
| 4th-degree | Extends through entire skin, and into underlying fat, muscle and bone[1] | Black; charred with eschar | Dry | Painless | Requires excision[1] | Amputation, significant functional impairment and in some cases, death.[1] |
