How to Treat Burns

Treating a burn effectively begins by stopping the burning process and cooling the affected area with cool, running water for several minutes. Next, assess the severity of the burn: 1st degree is mild, 2nd degree involves blistering, and 3rd degree may show charring, indicating serious skin damage. Seek medical assistance for burns on the face, hands, feet, or genitalia. Avoid using butter or oil on burns, and consider pain relievers like ibuprofen or Tylenol for comfort. Follow these guidelines to ensure proper healing and minimize complications.
