Do all burns heal spontaneously?
No, a burn that is too deep to heal on its own will require a skin graft. Skin is removed from an unburned part of the body (the donor site) and placed on the burned are The part being grafted has to be immobilized for five days for the graft to stick or “take”. Sometimes, burns can be so deep that muscles, tendons and bones are involved — and this may result in a limb being amputated.
