If you get a burn in the kitchen, here’s what I do right away:
Cool the Burn:
First, hold the burn under cool (but not super cold) water for about 10 to 20 minutes. This helps ease the pain and helps your skin heal.
Take off Tight Things:
If the burn is on your finger or hand, take off rings or any tight clothes right away to stop swelling.
Cover It Up:
Use a clean, non-stick bandage to cover the burn. This helps keep it safe from germs.
Watch for Problems:
Keep an eye on the burn for any signs of infection, like if it gets redder or if you see pus.
Always remember, if the burn is really bad, don’t wait! Get help from a doctor right away!
