WHAT IS A BURN OR SCALD:
Burns and scalds are damage to the skin usually caused by heat. Both are treated in the same way.
A burn is caused by dry heat - by an iron or fire, for example. A scald is caused by something wet, such as hot water or steam.
Burns can be very painful and may cause:
• Red or peeling skin
• Blisters
• Swelling
• White or charred skin
The amount of pain you feel is not always related to how serious the burn is. Even a very serious burn may be relatively painless.
TREATING BURNS AND SCALDS:
To treat a burn, follow the first aid advice below:
• Immediately get the person away from the heat source to stop the burning
• Cool the burn with cool or lukewarm running water for 20 minutes - do not use ice, iced water, or any creams or greasy substances like butter
• Remove any clothing or jewellery that's near the burnt area of skin, including babies' nappies, but do not move anything that's stuck to the skin
• Make sure the person keeps warm by using a blanket, for example, but take care not to rub it against the burnt area
• Cover the burn by placing a layer of cling film over it - a clean plastic bag could also be used for burns on your hand
• Use painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to treat any pain
• If the face or eyes are burnt, sit up as much as possible, rather than lying down - this helps to reduce swelling
• If it's an acid or chemical burn, dial 999, carefully try to remove the chemical and any contaminated clothing, and rinse the affected area using as much clean water as possible

WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE:
Depending on how serious a burn is, it may be possible to treat it at home.
For minor burns, keep the burn clean and do not burst any blisters that form.
More serious burns require professional medical attention.
You should go to a hospital A&E department for:
• All chemical and electrical burns
• Large or deep burns - any burn bigger than the injured person's hand
• Burns that cause white or charred skin - any size
• Burns on the face, hands, arms, feet, legs or genitals that cause blisters
If someone has breathed in smoke or fumes, they should also seek medical attention.
Some symptoms may be delayed and can include:
• Coughing
• A sore throat
• Difficulty breathing
• Facial burns
People at greater risk from the effects of burns, such as children under 5 years old and pregnant women, should also get medical attention after a burn or scald.
The size and depth of the burn will be assessed and the affected area cleaned before a dressing is applied. In severe cases, skin graft surgery may be recommended.

I'm a pharmacy student from Pakistan. But I've seen people saying that it's not a good profession and is not much appreciated around the globe. But whenever I watch your videos I get hope
Don't be discouraged. The world needs you guys!♡
My husband absolutely insists on skipping water and covering the area in sugar. I can't find anything on it but it seems to bring some relief for more minor burns. This time I dumped a pot of boiling water all over my foot and it's not! Helping!
I spilled tea, HOT tea on my leg and stomach. It hurts so badly, it took me a second to process what happened, but when I did I screamed, ran, it hurt and still does. I don’t know how I’m gonna sleep tonight..
-Don't put it in ice Well that would been handy to know a few hours ago 😅
Very helpful, Thank you so much
You're welcome!

Bro they patched it in 1.10
Hi doctor, I got burned by hot oil and got a scald, have some blisters now. Have been cooling the skin following the instructions in the video. Should I apply any ointment at all (aloe vera jelly maybe)? When can I start applying anti-scarring ointment? Thank you!
I was making hot cocoa and the water was boiling hot and spilled it on my chest.. This helped
The same happened to me today but with the hot cocoa and not the water
Same but i was making pasta lol how is it? U still hve the scar?
Is there still a scar?
Man I am feeling the pain, its really really hurting!
Bro I need your suggestion! Three months ago, I was second degree burn in an electric sparks. After 15 days doctors discharged me from burn hospital, and doctor has suggest me only coconut oil for burning skin. Now after 3 months I am facing pain in my burn skin. Recovery is slow. Hair is growing but skin is still red. Please suggest me what is more important in this condition like exercise, coconut oil, or other oil, sun light, cover burn area , continue wash burn area, if other medicines please sir suggest...
Advice: Please, Please, find tap water immediately, as it can be life-saving. My burned area that is flushed with water was recovered within 1 week and did not feel pain anymore except some red color really quickly. While the area that is not flushed in time lasted 3 weeks, got blisters, and will get long-lasting scars.
Great advice! What about burn aftercare? For example dressing it? When would you consider covering a burn? What specific type of dressings are suitable for burns?
Nice question. I should have discussed this more in the video. Will do an additional responding to comments on this :)
What a POS! Can't answer your question without doing another video?
Excellent question everyone came here for those answers and he still didn't mention 1 thing!.. DISLIKE HIM AND HIS VIDEO!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist did you make a video for aftercare ?
@@AbrahamThePharmacist can you link the aftercare video?
I never knew the burns would be this hurtful but its good that i always hide my feelings so i kinda have a calm look on my face 🤣
i’m in pain and it’s 4 am all i wanted was a cup of tea man
Thank u! I was doing everything wrong! Got a scald with hot water, and I put my hand under cold cold water then i put this greasy stuff on it, after i saw this part i washed off, then followed instructions! Doesn’t hurt tooo much but i learned soooo much better im going to continue watching! Ur AWESOME too!!!!!
Glad it helped! Sending awesome vibes!
Very helpful for my project!
Glad I could help!
Very helpful advise! This happened to me like 3 years ago with a hot water bottle on my leg and then I went to the hospital to get it checked and now it’s better but I can still see the scar!
Ouch sorry to hear about this Salandal, hope you're well
@@AbrahamThePharmacist yep I’m well, sending awesome vibes to you! :)
@@AbrahamThePharmacist just watched your video sir. Ex army here… currently running cold water on leg. Was about to return to work in ten mins then I see the part where “if it’s larger than 20% of the body. 🤔 It is my entire leg which got covered in boiling water. I was quick to get running water on it though. I don’t wanna clog up the hospital unnecessarily but you do clearly state to go if it’s that size. I feel like I probably am ok but now questioning myself. Thanks for the video it’s appreciated and updated 👍
Curling wand “tapped” my shoulder blade briefly and I just wet a paper towel with cool water and held it on for a bit, gently wiped off my body lotion, and put antibiotic ointment on it. Not sure what else to do now?
Amazing effort. Thanks for sharing
So nice of you
It really helped me ,thank you!
Glad my tips helped!
Dude I grabbed the pan with my barehand not thinking straight out of the oven that was on 425 degrees
I literally just did that ☠️☠️☠️🤣
Same. My fingers hurt.
i did that too but i used a towel and it didn't work too well
Just now me too
Me too
I used ice to numb my chigger bites and now i burned my thighs with the ice. I have swelling and skin feels like leather. It’s as big as my hand. Would this work with an ice burn?
I spilled boiling water on my hand.😬 I immediately filled a bowl with ice & water. I sat for 30 min with my hand immersed. It just turned a little pink. Thank You God Bless You
Glad I could help :)
Thanks for sharing, I wanna ask if you can share on how to remove slightly redness on skin. Thank you
Great and informative video. Thanks for sharing information..
Glad it was helpful!
i spilled coffee on my leg and it was like 4 blisters and i poped on accident should I be concerned ???? the area int too big but it looks nasty.
Please please please,prepare a video on " how to get rid of spectacles and how should we take care of our eyes?" Your all the videos are really helpful and informative. All the very best 😍👍👍👍
Noted and thanks for commenting
@@AbrahamThePharmacist thank you so much for your reply, I am very glad that I always get reply from you sir . You are my favorite doctor 😍
Just burned myself on a flat top grill and frantically looked up "I just Burned myself what do I do." And this vid was the first. The pain is subsiding now. Thank you
Glad I could help!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist the blister is stiff now. Is that normal? I hope so. Ima keep on applying Aloe
Safe to use manuka honey or aloe vera gel on a hot boiling water burn? Burned my hand when boiling water from noodles got over my hand. It is very red and burning at the moment. Did put my hand in the shower head cool water for a bit. What do I do next? It's really red.
Thanks for sharing, Is there a home remedy you can share tp us about burn scar with slight redness inside. Thank you
This is so useful for my child called Aiza thank you so much Mr
Glad my tips helped!
I burned two of my fingers in my toaster yesterday and I got treated in the worst way possible, they treated me with everything you said I should not do.
Can you do a video on post graft surgery for burns wounds and what to do
I’ve experienced burning many times (on finger) well what i learnt is firstly put cold water on it for some time then just sit down or get busy with something i know it will hurt u alot but trust me just take the pain for some time then u will get used to it... whenever u cant stand the pain anymore blow on it or put cold water again and when u sleep and wake up the next day it will be better IMPORTANT NOTE: after a few days a ball will appear on ur burnt finger or place whatever happens DO NOT POP IT IM WARNING U FROM NOW CUZ IF U DO U WILL WITNESS HELL 2.0 😂 but im serious do not pop it and yea good luck
Yep hell 2.0 is a lot worse trust him n don't pop it
I just accidentally spilled boiling hot water on my left thumb and its hurting like hell, like its stinging. The skin's melted away a bit. The pain's reduced in the last 3 hours but hasn't stopped yet. Should I keep the burn open to air heal or should I put a dressing on top of it? Update: it's been 20 days since I burned my thumb. Now there's no pain whatsoever and a new skin's formed already. Didn't put any ointment/dressing on it after the first day. It helped reduce the pain greatly.
@@abrarw99 my finger feels dry idk what to do
@@shaheensjej it gets better as days go on
@AbrahamThePharmacist During quarantine I've burnt my cheek while waxing (double waxed the same spot twice accidentally) been more than a year now and the skin isn't the same. I've tried everything, been to a dermatologist as well but nothing is helping. Any recommendations/ suggestions?
Please update
Well... I have been using like ten cubes of ice before watching this😂😂
So how do you clean it and keep it clean? Shouldn't you clean it from time to time?
I have this (mebo ointment) it says that its for burns should i apply it?
My dad gave us a first aid kit that he shipped to our home and I finally used those items for good use
Did you make a video for after care ? I’d love to know as all I’ve been told is to apply Vaseline and air it out but feel like it sticks to my socks ect
Interesting to know: we all watching this are in extreme pain… but are tough Cos we KZhead’d it instead of clogging up the hospital
Ikr😅
If you have an air pocket on your burn, what do you do? Do you pop it?
I put Apple vinegar on a mole and now have a scar/burn what do I do to treat it to not leave a mark?
Spilt ramen noodles on my hand now I’m here 🤷🏾♀️
Same
Is it ok to put vicks camphor,mentol,eucalyptus oil?
Hi, I just came back from my Dofe trip for 2 days and my whole face is burnt and my neck and when I go into the shower it stings like hell until It where’s off.
I hope my tips help!
I got a steam burn and i used cold water and it definitely helps as it cools it down and sort of numbs the pain in a way
Thanks for the tip Suzzy
Yeah
I got steam burn today and its been 2hrs since i've putmy hand in cold water but its not helping..its paining so badd😭i
Trust me run your hand under cold water and wrap it keep it numb
@@aarshitripathi1155 just dip it in ice water
thank you so much .your video was very helpful.
You are welcome!
I love having ads while waiting for the video that's going to stop my wrist from hurting as badly
“Anything bigger then the hand of the person.” Well, ain’t that ironic. My whole hand is scalded.
I'm a 52-year-old African-American woman and I have always gotten heat rash every summer since I was a little girl. This year I got the rash as normal on my forearms and when I started scratching them, they turn to raised burn looking scars. I've had them about a week now and I've been putting vitamin e oil and also some aloe vera gel on it but they've never turned to raised scars before. Normally the rash just goes away when I stay out of the Sun and out of the heat. It's very bizarre. I never really thought about going to the doctor but I'm not sure exactly what I should do. Should I just give it more time to heal and go away?
I have lupus and I get like that in the sun too. worth a shot to check it out
I didn't know about using the ice until its to late as I use my ice pack but will the burn go as it comes and goes at the moment
Can u vaseline under the area of your blisters that got broken down by their own ??? Plss reply
If you got a burnt fingertip or any minor burn Just mix a little egg white with coconut oil and make a jelly-like paste and apply to the burnt area it really helps. I was frying donuts and accidently dipped my finger in burning hot oil,but this remidy helped. (English is second language,if there are any mistakes plz ignore)
he literally said to not use greasy things
thank you thank you thank you...the egg was ISTANT HEALING..bless you
@@yvonneaaron7685 my pleasure💗💗
I was making a frozen spicy chicken patty in the oven and when it was done I took it out and realized it needed more time and I grabbed the baking sheet with my bare hand and I have a tiny blister on my finger now :(
@@savvy4 he also said some other things which I know aren’t accurate though sadly
Can we apply Povidone iodine usp on second degree burn?
Great tips thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
I burned myself working at wendys yesterday. I was workin on fries dumped nuggets in the basket but one of them fell in the oil and it splashed me. I used this cooling ointment and put a glove on so I didn’t get salt on it. Seemed to work fine
Me whose burn has blistered and used ice water: 👁👄👁
Am currently using cling on wrap with nothing else on the burns. Its helping also took some acetaminophen I've been dealing with this since about 130 its 430pm now so the burns are pretty severe in comparison to past burns oh & it's my left thumb& left middle finger joint where the finger bends. I have medihoney from a separate incident tried using it earlier& um no omg the pain intensified tenfold had to rinse it off after about 5 mins but its already bubbling up. Oh & this was a hot wax scald
Ugh, I have a little blister on my finger from grabbing a hot grill flipper at work. I didn’t realize how much it was burned at the time, so I didn’t run it under water! The blister is only the size of an apple seed or two, but it’s really tough/leathery and it looks oddly deep. There’s no pain, but it looks so strange. It’s been a few days and it’s not going down...
What did it look like and how long did it take to heal
After a year, what is the update
After 2 years did you die?
You did tell us anything about future treatment? Do we remove blister water??
3rd day- anyone help: hot tea tipped over on my husband‘s quad, the skin is healing but now it’s slightly Ozzy skin and we’re not sure what else to put on it further healing aloe vera plant?
I spilled scalding hot coffee on my lips, chin and chest. Nothing too serious but now I have a nasty blister on my chin and I need to get rid of it 😩
i just burned my forearm on the oven and the burn is white but its small so will it blister still if i cool it (i csnt stand blisters)
What's the difference between placing the burnt area under running water vs a bowl of water
time stamp is 1:32 for ppl with minor burns, run it under cold water asap for 20 mins
I just accidentally spilled boiling hot water on my left thumb and its hurting, like its stinging. The skin's melted away a bit. The pain's reduced in the last 3 hours but hasn't stopped yet. Should I keep the burn open to air heal or should I put a dressing on top of it? Also, does the skin that's folded/peeled away fall by itself? Can please advise, thanks!
How are you dude? I'm having the exact same experience now. I hope you recovered well.
@@tulips7465 hey, thanks, I recovered well from it. The pain reduces after a couple of days. I applied some burn cream on the burn on the first day and it helped quite a fair bit to soothe the pain. It took around 3 weeks for fresh new skin to develop. I hope you have a very quick recovery!
So if it white but only like 1.5-2 inches long what do I do is it just good to leave or something else needed
I have burn my finger with the cooker and i put colgate toothpaste on it will that help
???won't the water pressure flowing over the wound damage the skin further???
What to do for second degree burns on to of fingers from hot grease.
I kept warm tea bags under my eyes for like 3 minutes but it’s hot and the red won’t go away.
Thank you so much it helped for me so much
Glad my tips helped!
I accidentally tipped boiling hot water from a kettle on my foot I went to minor injury and they pop the blister and then dressed it told me to come back the next day and said I didn’t need more dressing but my foot is still very sore and red lumps like a rash They told me to apply Vaseline which I’ve been doing but I’ve been wrapping it in cling film as well i keep my socks off during the day so the air can get to it but at night I wrap it is that okay ?
The way he swipe made me nostalgic about Savdhan India guy who used to swipe the footage after every single sentence

Can you do this if you have had the burn for a while cause I’ve had this burn for like 2 days and I don’t know what to do:(
