How do burns work?

339 viewsBiologyOther

Like if you were to touch a really hot pan and then instantly run it under cold water.. I was told that it didn’t stop the burning process, it just made the burn like stunned ? So it’s better to use lukewarm water ..?🙂

Burns remove moisture from the skin.  A really bad burn will also cook the area. Make it hard.  Then blister then scab.. The best way to treat a burn is to replace the moisture with cold water
 Cold water will also kill the pain for a short time
 Don’t ever pop a blister or try to remove loose skin.   You can use a cold antiseptic gel and if possible place a clean empty plastic bag over the area. Keep it clean as they are prone to infection.
