Burn is a common household injury, particularly in the kitchen, burn such as coming from a boiling water or grease. What to do when this happen is to immediately cool the burn with clean water as soon s possible. Perform the cooling for no more than 10 minutes. Do not apply ice directly on the burn since it can worsen it.
I remember before some people would advice that when you get burn, just put toothpaste, butter, ointment etc. These things may help bring down the temperature of the burn, but it will give the attending doctor a herder time after wards. These substances are harder to remove from the burn compared to water.
Another thing to do is to leave any resulting blister alone. Blisters are the body’s natural way of healing. You’ll cause more damage by bursting them.
