| The Kenton Bridge Medical Centre: Burns | |
| Burns:Apply large
quantities of cold water to the affected area as soon as possible and maintain this until
the pain subsides. This may take 15 minutes or longer! If the skin is not broken but
blistered apply a loose, dry dressing. If concerned consult the practice nurse or doctor. For severe burns, where the skin is burnt through the surface, apply lots of water and then use cling film to cover the burnt area while waiting for an ambulance. |
