Burns: tips on treating a minor burn
Keep cool when the heat is on!

Burns are one of the most common household accidents. They can be caused by fire, steam, hot liquids, electricity and chemicals.

If you do suffer a minor burn, run cool water over skin burns for 10 to 20 minutes. Do not use ice.

Regardless of the cause of the burn, your nearby U.S. HealthWorks Medical center is a good place to get it checked to reduce pain and risk of infection. U.S. HealthWorks is equipped to treat most household burns with no appointment necessary.
