How do you treat a burn?

To treat a burn, it is important not to pop the blister as it can increase the risk of infection. Wash the burn with water and mild soap, pat it dry gently, and cover it with a bandage to prevent friction. The blister should heal in a few days. Once a scab forms and the wound is healing well, applying a fragrance-free moisturizing cream at least three times a day can help. Well-hydrated skin heals better and may reduce the appearance of a scar.
