Second Degree (Deep) Burns

Know Your Surgery Treatment

Deep second-degree burns penetrate further into the dermis, affecting deeper layers of skin tissue. These burns often appear whiter, drier, and less painful compared to superficial burns, as nerve endings may be damaged. However, healing takes significantly longer, and appreciable scarring is common. Due to the extensive skin damage, these burns often require advanced treatment, prolonged wound management, and in many cases, Skin Grafting to restore the affected areas. Specialized care in a dedicated Burn Unit is crucial to improve healing outcomes and prevent long-term functional impairment.
