BURNS

Run cold water over burned skin immediately. Make sure that the source of the burn is away from your child to avoid more injury. Small areas of red skin from a burn can be cleaned with soap and water, covered with bacitracin, and covered with a Band-Aid. Larger areas of blistering, black, charred skin should be seen immediately. Also any burn that goes all the way around a finger or extremity should be seen right away, even if it seems mild.
