What Does Minor Burn Treatment Involve?

First- and second-degree burns—which can produce pain, redness, dryness, swelling, and blisters—are considered minor and can generally be treated at home. You should:

Hold your burn under cool running water or against a cool, wet compress
Apply moisturizing lotion to the area around the burn (try to find one that contains aloe vera)
Loosely bandage the area using sterile gauze
Take over-the-counter pain medication as directed
Avoid popping any blisters

However, if you are experiencing severe pain, signs of infection, or symptoms that do not improve after 48 hours, or if your burn is more than 3 inches wide or located on your face, hands, genitals, buttocks, feet, or over a major joint, then you should promptly seek professional minor burn treatment. At Jovive Health, we may treat your minor burn by:

Disinfecting the area
Applying a cream or ointment
Bandaging the wound
Prescribing antibiotics or pain medication
Administering a tetanus shot
