How to treat a burn?
In the event of a burn, the #1 goal is to save the skin!
The first instinct is to hold the burn under the cold water tap for 20 minutes.
After this first treatment, observe the condition of the wound, this will give you an indication of the degree burn severity and you can then quickly decide what actions to take. The most severe burns must be treated in the emergency room.
There are several degrees of severity, ranging from first to fourth degree.
How to assess the severity of a burn and the severity of the wounds and lesions caused on the skin?
First degree burn: closed wound, redness, no blister
Second degree burn: closed wound, redness, WITH blisters
Third degree burn: open wound with white areas
Fourth degree burn: open brownish or black sore, absence of pain
