1st Degree Burns

Signs To Look For:

     First Degree Burns cause injury to the outside layer of the skin, cause no blistering and are commonly caused by sunburn, contact with hot objects, and hot water or steam.
 Redness, mild swelling and pain may be present.
Immediate Treatment:

1. Put the burned area under cold running water or apply a cold compress until the pain decreases.

2. Cover the burn with  silvadene ointment
