first aid for burns  

Hi, icecubic. The only first aid that I can think of is to use something cold like a cool cloth. An ointment works well too. The right way to treat a burn is to use the appropriate solution that targets burns. For a severe burn, it is best to consult with a doctor.

Hi,
You was correct, the burn can occur anywhere. I have found in a article regarding the treatment for sudden burns. Pouring water and make them to lying on the banana leaf will make comfortable.
Happy mylotting.
Have a nice day.

Hi Ice,

When you have effected by the Hot oil or some other sources, the first
things should be cooling the affected area, or you have to apply the
cool water to the effected skins and then you have to apply the cream
which would be recommended only for the burning that is called burnsol
which is contain antiseptic active ingredients along with the cooling action
to the skins. When you apply this cream twice in every day you would get
heal the burn within one week time. So be relax and enjoy the day and also
apply the cream it would be more than sufficient to cure the burn skins.

Have a good day.

the best first aid for burn would be to wash the area in running water and apply ice cubes to take away the instant heat in the area .even some say applying potato slices help.keep "burnol" handy.

I am using toothpaste colgate to be particular whenever I got a burn, it sounds weird maybe but it is effective.Dont try it intentionally of course.

hi there icecubic....

First-degree burns do not usually need professional medical attention. Simply cool the burn under cold, running water for several minutes to stop the burn from getting worse. You can give the injured person an aspirin (if he or she has no medical complications) and soothe the area with some aloe vera ointment or burn cream.
Second-degree burns are distinguished by the blistery, red blotchy marks they leave on skin. Blisters form in these burns because the burn penetrates deeper into the layers of skin, releasing body fluids that erupt and cause blisters on the surface. Sometimes the burned area will swell or ooze, and it is painful.
1. Submerge the burned area in cold water (as cold as possible). If the burn occurred on the chest or back, pour cold water from a bucket or a hose directly onto the burn.
2. Keep the cold water on the burn until medical help arrives. If the burns are minor, keep them in cold water for at least five minutes.
3. If the burns are extensive, you can apply a cool, wet cloth to the affected area—but only if the dressing is wrapped in plastic. Cloth tends to adhere to burns, and it can worsen the pain if a physician has to pull it off to treat the burn.
4. If the burns are minor, you can treat them in the same way you'd treat first-degree ones. You won't need medical help. Simply pat the area dry and place a loose sterile cloth over it.

third-degree burns are serious—deadly serious. If you encounter someone who has a third-degree burn, get medical attention fast!....
As we've already mentioned, third-degree burns are the most severe of all burns. They require medical treatment and precise first aid care. If you know what you are doing, you can help prevent infection from spreading.
# Call for medical attention if access is immediately available.
# Treat for shock, if necessary. This is especially true if the burn is caused by electric shock.
# If you suspect chemical burning, especially from dangerous acids, you need to take first aid care one step further in order to stop the burn from spreading. As soon as you've called for medical help, pick up the phone and call the local poison control center. As with any type of poison ingestion or inhalation or burn, these specialists can tell you exactly what you need to do. (See Poisoning: When to Induce Vomiting, and Treating the Most Common Overdoses for more on poisoning.)
# Remove any tight clothing or jewelry that's not on the actual burned area. With third-degree burns, there's always the danger of swelling which can cause blood vessels to constrict and create other complications.
# You can submerge the burned area under cold running water, but avoid ice. Too much cold can exacerbate shock.
# Pat the area dry and place a loose, sterile cloth over the area.
# If hands are burned, elevate them, keeping them higher than the heart. This can be done by gently placing pillows under the injured person's arms.
# Burned legs and feet should also be elevated to keep blood flowing smoothly.
# Keep the injured person still. Do not let him or her walk around.# If the face is burned, keep checking for breathing complications. If airways seem to be blocked, follow the instructions for performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
# Above all, get the burned victim to a hospital. Third-degree burn victims are prime candidates for infection, pneumonia, and other complications, and they need medical attention fast.

when it comes to burns, these exceptions can save a life! Here's the “short list” on what not to do:

* Do not pierce or open blisters. It leaves the burned person “wide open” for infection.
* Do not peel off burned dead skin. It not only leaves the new skin underneath too vulnerable to infection, but it can cause scarring.
* Do not attempt to peel away any clothing stuck to the burn. Pulling away the cloth can also peel away any healing skin. And, as anyone who's ever had a bandage pulled off knows, it can hurt too!
* Do not use butter, antiseptic creams, or any other “folk remedies” on burns. They can actually cause the infection you're trying to avoid! None of these remedies, especially butter, will do anything beneficial for major burns.

thanks!
happy mylotting!
have a nice day!
