all over your entire body, by say being doused in gasoline and then set aflame, what would happen to your skin? Would it char, peel, melt? How long would it take you to heal completely? Months? Years? Decades? Would you ever look normal again?

sweetie if all u got is a second degree burn from being doused with gasoline that would be a mircle that would be like a 4th degree burn
A second degree burn is a bad sunburn that hurts and blisters and peels.

If you mean third degree burn, then no, you would never heal completely and you would never look normal either. Odds are, you wouldn't survive, even with the best care in the best burn center on the planet. Third degree burns are very serious and often fatal.
Your skin could char or turn white or just be burned clean through the fascia and muscle.

Well you will have blisters, and you will be red all over your body. But you won't char that a 3 degree burn. It will probably take several weeks but you will have to keep it doctor. Now it is best to see a doctor to get oniments to go on it. But what ever you do don't busted the blisters that will make the healing process slower. Plus don't put butter or any kind of oil on it . That will make it worst. Just get some oniment on it as fast as you can. .

second degree burns are usually accompanied by blisters, and loss of fluids from the skin if someone were to survive burns of that severity over that much of their body would take a miracle. However with proper care I would guess that a person would appear normal again with in a few motnhs. The biggest concerns with 2nd degree burns is pain management and infections as the skin easily regenerates.

that would cause a third degree burn, but they call it something else now. it would burn char and peal, and just sluff off. there is really no chanche of surviving a burn like that i think they say if more then 50% third degree burn there is like a 10% chance of living. But lets say the person did live. they would never be the same when they did start to get skin back it would look like it was melted. they would never look they way they used to just because there is to much dammage
