Burn

Burn - First Degree

The photo shows a 6 inch (15 cm) wide area of mild redness without blistering on the forearm. This thermal burn was caused by spilled hot water.

First Aid Care Advice:

• Put the burned part in cold tap water right away or pour cold water over it for 10 minutes or cover with a cold wet washcloth.
• Reason: this lessens the depth of the burn and relieves pain.
