If you or a loved one sustains a minor burn, quick and correct first aid can make all the difference:
* Cool the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes
* Do not apply ice, butter or toothpaste
* Gently remove tight items like rings or watches
* If you have Hydrogel available in your first aid kit - it helps prevent infection and the high water content in the gel promotes rapid cooling resulting in minimising skin damage.
* Cover with a clean, non-stick dressing
* Take pain relief if needed
โ ๏ธ Seek medical care if the burn is large, blistering, infected, or involves the face, hands, feet, or ge****ls.
