When someone sustains a burn of any kind, it is so important to keep the area clean, COVERED, and not exposed to any outside bacteria. Treatment depends on the nature of the burn. Is it 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree. The more severe the burn, requires different treatments. However, all must be kept clean. Besides sterility, the person must maintain a proper balance of fluids, for tthe elecrolytes, pain meds. and good nutrition. All of these combined will aid in the healing process. But to know exactly what to do, you need to say what kind or degree of burn it is. Topical ointments may be applied to the area before covering it. Hope this helps.
