why do burn wounds heal and feel so different from other wounds like cuts

235 views

Just burned my hand right next to a cut I recently got and couldn’t help noticing the difference. Also, why do they heal so differently, like making blisters and stuff? Is there a specific thing that happens when skin is burnt?

Burn wounds feel much different because large amounts of nerve cells are actually destroyed. In a clean cut the damage is not nearly as extensive. They heal differently because while areas of tissue need to be completely replaced.
