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