How To Treat a Minor Burn

While third degree burns require a doctor's care, you can usually treat a first degree or even a second degree burn in a small area yourself.

Here are the two most important things to remember:

-You need to cool down the area immediately. Your skin will "keep burning" for a while after you have burned yourself, so keep the area under running water.

- You must let your skin breathe, so make sure it's under running water, if you submerge the are don't do it for too long. And also, of course don't put butter or oil on it. After the burning sensation goes away from the cold water, you can put some ointment or burn cream on it.
