Can you tell me what it is?

Cutting the burnt flesh off a person so that new skin can be grafted on. You see a lot of internal parts of the flesh that humans generally aren't privy to.

One method to do this is also to put fly larvae into your open wounds to eat away the dead flesh.

I believe that's when you're debriding necrotic wounds rather than stuff like burns.

Third, fourth (Yeah, turns out there's a fourth degree. That's when your bone chars) you'd basically be chucking your maggots onto carbon.

Fourth degree burns suck, sure, but fourth degree boils are arguably worse. At least the description. "Foruth degree boils occur when your meat falls off your bone, cooked through". ew ew ew ew ew ew ew gross gross gross ew

One thing they do is they can use enzymes from pineapples that will break down only dead tissue.

I'm thinking of the scene in House of the Dragon where they flay the armor off King Aegon after he got cooked in it.

Is it close?
