What is a burn?
A burn is damage to the skin usually caused by heat, such as touching a hot stove or oven. It can also be caused by touching hot water or steam. Sunburn is caused by being out in the sun and can happen even if sunblock has been applied.
Symptoms
The skin can become red and sore, and blister. The area will feel sore or painful.
Treatment
Cool, treat, cover and protect
Cool: Immerse the burn in cold water until the skin is cold – this can take several minutes, don’t rush this as it is the most important stage.
Treat: Dry the skin gently and apply a thin layer of antiseptic Drapolene® Cream to the burn site to soothe and relieve the sore skin- you can do this several times a day as needed.
Cover & protect: Using a sterile bandage cover the burn to protect the area as the skin heals.
