Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What should I do first if someone gets burned?
Act fast. Immediately remove the person from the source of heat (flame, hot liquid, or chemical). Stay calm and ensure your safety first.
2. Should I use ice or cold water on a burn?
Use normal water over the burn area for 15–20 minutes. This helps reduce pain, swelling, and further damage. Never use ice, butter, toothpaste, or creams, as they can make the injury worse.
3: What if the burn area is large?
If the burn is larger than the palm, or affects the face, hands, feet, groin, or joints, call emergency services or rush to the hospital. Cover the area with a clean, dry cloth or plastic wrap — do not press or rub.
4: Can I pop the blisters?
No. Never pop blisters. They protect the skin underneath from infection. Let a doctor evaluate and treat them properly.
5: Should I remove clothing stuck to the burn?
No. Do not try to remove clothes stuck to a burn. Cut around the fabric if needed and seek medical help.
6: What should I do for minor burns at home?
For small, superficial burns (like touching a hot pan:
- Cool under running water
- Pat dry gently
- Apply a sterile, non-stick dressing
- Take a pain reliever if needed (paracetamol or ibuprofen)
- Keep it clean and dry
- Monitor for signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus).
7: When should I see a doctor?
Seek medical help if:
- The burn is deep or larger than 3 inches
- It’s on the face, hands, feet, or private areas
- There are signs of infection (fever, pus, increasing pain)
- It's caused by chemicals or electricity
