Minor burns like first-degree burns are considered superficial burns and they normally can heal on their own within 3 to 6 days. Second-degree burns are considered superficial partial-thickness burns which normally can heal in less than three weeks after the incident. Third-degree burns are considered deep partial-thickness burns, they will take more than three weeks to heal, and many times will need medical intervention to help them heal properly. Fourth-degree burns also considered full-thickness burns will only heal at the edges of the burn by scarring without skin grafts. A skin graft is a very thin layer of skin that is taken from an unburned area and placed on a badly burned area to help heal. The healing process after a skin graft is completed can take different time frames to heal, and mainly the medical staff is worried about it healing correctly without any indication of infection or the skin not taking in that new area.
