What should you do if you have a burn?

Answer:
In the first instance, you should run the burn under cold water for at least 15 minutes! It is advisable then to place a non-stick dressing, such as Melonin, over the dressing and keep it dry! Do not pierce the blister as this can cause infection and deeper scarring!

If it is a severe burn, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible, but the above should suffice for a minor burn! Most importantly, DO NOT pierce the blister!
