The following steps may help in these situations: - # Cool the burn immediately with cool water to reduce the skin temperature and stop the burning process, numb the pain, and prevent or reduce swelling. Do not use ice on burns as it may decrease the blood supply to the area and may actually make the burn worse. # Remove burned clothing, metal from belt buckles, etc as these things can continue to burn if they retain heat. Disposable diapers will especially retain heat. Loosen or remove tight clothing, jewelry, or boots before swelling occurs. If burn is over 30% of the total body surface area you may have swelling in an area remote from the burn due to fluid shifts, so remove everything that might constrict. # After cooling the burn with water, cover the burn with a clean dressing to the burn area. If you don’t have a dressing, cover the burn with a clean t-shirt (never a towel as the fiber can stick in the wound and be painful to remove). People are usually more comfortable if exposed nerve endings are covered, and also it is important to keep the burn victim warm. # Get Medical Help! Never underestimate the seriousness of a burn! # For serious burns don’t give anything to the victim to eat or drink prior to seeking medical attention. # Elevate burns to the extremities to reduce swelling.

Treating a burn begins with stopping the burning process. Cool the burned area with cool running water for several minutes. If an ambulance is coming, continue running water over the burned area until the ambulance arrives. Look for blistering, sloughing, or charred (blackened) skin. Blistering or sloughing (skin coming off) means the top layer of skin is completely damaged and complications are likely. Charring indicates even deeper damage to all three layers of skin (see illustration). If the damaged area is bigger than one entire arm or the whole abdomen, call 911 or take the victim to the emergency department immediately. Victims with burns to the following areas need emergency medical assistance (call emergency): face,hands, feet and genitalia.

in the situation you had given, a person will have minor burn and i am giving you the first aids of minor burn hereunder: If the skin is unbroken, run cool water over the area of the burn or soak it in a cool water bath (not ice water). Keep the area submerged for at least 5 minutes. A clean, cold, wet towel will also help reduce pain. Calm and reassure the person After flushing or soaking, cover the burn with a dry, sterile bandage or clean dressing Protect the burn from pressure and friction Over-the-counter ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help relieve pain and swelling. DO NOT give children under 12 aspirin. Once the skin has cooled, moisturizing lotion also can help Minor burns will usually heal without further treatment. However, if a second-degree burn covers an area more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, or if it is located on the hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks, or a major joint, treat the burn as a major burn. make sure the person is immunized with tetanus.

In case of minor burns, wet a towle in a ice cold watre & wrap it on burnt area. After 10 to 15 mins, unwrap & wipe the surface of skin & apply some cream like burnol or some antiseptic lotion like Savlon. In case of severe burns, do not bring the affected area in contact of water as it may cause septic as burns will be deep. Immediately contact a doctor as there is no effective first aid for severe bruns.
