A second degree burn is red with blisters. Third degree burns have a black charred appearance. Second degree burns are also more painful because they have highly damaged the nerves, however the nerves can still feel. Third degree burns have burned so deeply that the nerves no longer feel.

∙ 13y agoThird degree burns are definitely more serious than second degree burns.
Second degree burns are burns that are through the second layer of skin. Ouch right? They start to have fluid form beneath the burn and create blisters. Wherever the injury has occured the victim begins to lose fluid, heat, and the ability to block infection.
Third degree, the burn has destroyed both the epidermis and dermis (1st and 2nd layer skin). The victim has the same trouble with fluid loss, heat loss, and infection that come with second-degree burns. Full-thickness burns also cause nerve death, so the victim may not be able to feel anything in the area of the burn.
