Even after eliminating the cause of the burn, soft tissue continues to smolder for several hours, which leads to even greater damage. Cooling helps prevent blistering in minor burns and reduces tissue damage in more severe burns.
Do not try to judge the severity of a burn by how much pain the victim experiences, as nerve endings may be damaged as a result of the burn. In most cases, burns require a medical examination. Call an ambulance immediately if the burn:
• causes difficulty breathing;
•occupies more than one part of the body;
•occupies the head, neck, hands, feet or genitals;
• occurs in a child or an elderly person;
• caused by chemicals;
•an explosion or electric current has occurred.
First aid for first and second degree burns
Immediately cool the burn area with cold, but not ice-cold, water by immersing the damaged area in water or running a stream of water over the area. Never use ice. After cooling, cover the injured area with a clean, damp cloth to prevent infection, air, and pain relief.
Do not puncture blisters because the integrity of the skin protects against infection. If blisters burst, treat the damaged area as you would a wound: rinse with clean water, apply a sterile bandage and consult a doctor.
