The first step in treating a minor burn is to cool the burn under running water for at least 10 minutes. This helps to reduce pain and swelling.
For a chemical burn, flush the area with running water for at least 20 minutes to dilute and remove the chemical substance.
Butter or oil should be avoided as they can trap heat in the skin and worsen the burn.
Third-degree burns require medical attention because they damage all layers of the skin and can lead to serious complications.
The first priority is to ensure that the power source is turned off to prevent further injury or danger.
The burn should be cooled under cold water for 10 to 20 minutes to ensure effective treatment and minimize tissue damage.
Leave the blister intact to protect the underlying skin and cover it with a sterile dressing to prevent infection.
Charred or white, leathery skin indicates a severe burn that likely penetrates all layers of the skin and needs immediate medical attention.
Partial-thickness burns are often the most painful because they damage the dermal layer, where nerve endings are located.
Cutting around the clothing and leaving it in place helps to avoid further injury to the burn area.
