The skin has an important role to play in the fluid and temperature regulation of the body. If enough skin area is injured, the ability to maintain that control can be lost. The skin also acts as a protective barrier against the bacteria and viruses that inhabit the world outside the body.

Treat every skin burn quickly to reduce the possibility of infection and promote healing. Remember that a burn is also a break in the skin, and the risk of infection exists both at the site of the injury and potentially throughout the body.

If you do burn yourself, start Burn First Aid as soon as possible.
Soak the burn in cool water for at least 5 minutes. The cool water helps reduce swelling by pulling heat away from the burned skin.
Treat the burn with a skin care product that protects and heals skin, such as aloe vera cream or an antibiotic ointment or spray designed for burn relief.
You can wrap a dry gauze bandage loosely around the burn. This will protect the area and keep the air off of it.

Do not put butter or oil on burns. Do not put ice or ice water directly on burns. If blisters form over the burn, do not break them.

Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve), to help with the pain. Ibuprofen and naproxen will also help with swelling.

Remember, Start Burn Treatment as soon as possible.

First-Degree Burns

First-degree burns, the mildest of the three, are limited to the top layer of skin:

These burns produce redness, pain, and minor swelling. The skin is dry without blisters.

Run cool (not cold) water over the burned area (if water isn't available, any cold, drinkable fluid can be used) or hold a clean, cold compress on the burn for approximately 3-5 minutes.

    Do not apply butter, grease, powder, or any other remedies to the burn, as these increase the risk of infection.
   Apply aloe gel or cream to the affected area. This may be done a few times during the day.
   Give your child acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain.
   If the area affected is small (the size of a quarter or smaller), keep it clean. You can protect it with a sterile gauze pad or bandage for the next 24 hours      Healing time is about 3 to 6 days; the superficial skin layer over the burn may peel off in 1 or 2 days.

Second-Degree Burns

Second-degree burns are more serious and involve the skin layers beneath the top layer:

These burns produce blisters, severe pain, and redness. The blisters sometimes break open and the area is wet looking with a bright pink to cherry red color.

Seek emergency medical care, then follow these steps until medical personnel arrive:

    Keep your child lying down with the burned area elevated.
    Follow the instructions for first-degree burns.
    Remove all jewelry and clothing from around the burn, except for clothing that's stuck to the skin. If you're having difficulty removing clothing, you may need to cut it off or wait until medical assistance arrives.
    Do not break any blisters.
   Apply cool water over the area for at least 3-5 minutes, then cover the area with a clean white cloth or sheet until help arrives.

Healing time varies depending on the severity of the burn. It can take up to 3 weeks or more.

Third-Degree Burns

Third-degree burns are the most serious type of burn and involve all the layers of the skin and underlying tissue:

The surface appears dry and can look waxy white, leathery, brown, or charred. There may be little or no pain or the area may feel numb at first because of nerve damage.

Follow the instructions for second-degree burns. Seek emergency medical care.
