Burn injury care

Immediate response matters when dealing with thermal injuries from cooking or hot surfaces. Hold the site under cool tap water to draw out heat, but never use ice. Skip the household remedies like toothpaste or oil entirely, as these often trap heat or introduce bacteria to raw skin.

• Run cool water for 20 minutes
• Cover with clean, non-fluffy cloth
• Do not burst any blisters
• Consult for face or joint burns

Plastic surgery assessment

Deep or extensive injuries require professional evaluation to determine the right treatment path. Proper management prevents infection and helps the tissue heal with fewer complications. Reach out if you notice signs of a severe injury or if the burn covers a sensitive area like the hands or joints. Professional intervention ensures the skin is cleaned and protected correctly to support long-term recovery.
