]]> 81457 2 0 Step Confirm burn is minor Confirm that the burn is minor. If a second-degree burn—that is, one that’s most likely blistered, blotchy, and very painful—is larger than 2" to 3" wide or is on your hands, feet, face, groin, or over a major joint, you’ll need to seek medical help immediately.

]]> 81458 3 0 Step Cool burn Cool the burn by immediately with cold water, keeping it under running water, submerged, or treated with cold compresses for at least 5 minutes.

]]> 81459 4 0 Tip Do not use ice or butter on a burn. Despite being popular folk remedies, both can cause further injury.

]]> 81460 5 0 Step Cover burn Loosely cover the burn with a dry, sterile, non-adhesive dressing, and try to keep it clear of pressure and friction.

]]> 81461 6 0 Tip If there are any blisters, leave them alone. If you pop a blister, you are making the burn vulnerable to infection.

]]> 81462 7 0 Step Take pain medicine Take an over-the-counter pain medicine like ibuprofen or acetaminophen if needed.

]]> 81463 8 0 Step Apply lotion or cream If the burn is not open or weepy, apply a gentle skin lotion or an antihistamine cream to help reduce the itch, and then reapply your loose dressing.

]]> 81464 9 0 Tip Once the burn is a couple days old, apply aloe vera gel to the burn to promote healing.

]]> 81465 10 0 Step Seek medical attention Seek medical attention if you see any sign that the burn is infected, including red streaks, pus, or increased pain, swelling, or redness.

]]> 81466 11 0 Step Apply sunscreen Apply sunscreen over the burned area, as the new skin will be more susceptible to sunburn.

]]> 81467 12 0 Fact The average first-degree burn heals in three to six days.
