First Aid for Burn

EYES

Seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Do not put ointments or liquids in eye.

ELSEWHERE

• Consult a doctor if the burn is not healed in 24 hours, or the burn is larger than the size of a palm.
• If serious, send promptly for an ambulance or a doctor.
• If possible, run affected area under cold water (not ice or ice water) for 10-15 minutes if the skin is intact.
• Cut and gently lift away any clothing covering the burned area, without pulling clothing over the burns.
• Leave in place any clothing that is stuck to the burns. Do not put any creams or greases on the burned area.
• If the casualty’s hands or wrists have been burned remove jewellery if possible without causing, further injury (rings, watches .and so forth) and place in his pockets. This prevents the necessity to cut off jewellery since swelling usually occurs as a result of a burn.
