Detailed explanation-1: -IMPORTANT: DO NOT use butter, grease, creams, sprays, burn ointments, or powders to treat a burn. Use pain medication as directed by your doctor.
Detailed explanation-2: -Immediately immerse the burn in cool tap water or apply cold, wet compresses. Do this for about 10 minutes or until the pain subsides. Apply petroleum jelly two to three times daily. Do not apply ointments, toothpaste or butter to the burn, as these may cause an infection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once your burn is clean, apply ointment. A burn ointment does double duty for burn care. A thin layer of antibiotic ointment keeps your skin safe from bacteria. This can help you avoid an infection.
Detailed explanation-4: -Place the burned area under running cold water to prevent swelling. After about 15-20 minutes, clean the burn with soap and water and wrap it in a clean gauze pad or bandage. Covering the burn and avoiding exposure is the best way to prevent infection for a cooking oil burn or any other burn injury.
