Third-degree burn, cut-away artwork. A third-degree burn is a severe burn that damages the top layer of skin (epidermis, dark pink), the underlying tissue (dermis, pink) and the fatty layer (subcutaneous tissue, yellow). Granulation tissue is seen forming at the base of the wound, fed by a capillary (bottom centre). Eventually this will become fibrous and form the scar

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Third-degree burn, cut-away artwork" provides a detailed depiction of the layers of skin and tissue affected by a severe third-degree burn. The print showcases the extent of damage caused by this type of burn, which includes the epidermis (dark pink), dermis (pink), and subcutaneous tissue (yellow). The image also highlights an intriguing aspect of the healing process - granulation tissue forming at the base of the wound. This delicate network is nourished by a capillary located at the bottom center, representing its vital role in promoting healing. Over time, this granulation tissue will transform into fibrous scar tissue. Through this artistic representation, viewers gain insight into both the devastating impact and remarkable resilience of human skin when faced with such injuries. It serves as a reminder that burns not only affect superficial layers but can penetrate deep within our bodies. This thought-provoking illustration combines elements from medicine and art to create an educational tool for dermatologists, healthcare professionals, or anyone interested in understanding burns on a deeper level. By shedding light on these intricate details, it invites contemplation about our body's incredible ability to heal itself while emphasizing the importance of proper medical care during recovery.
