Detailed explanation-1: -1. Cool the burn under cold running water for at least 20 minutes. Cooling the burn will reduce pain, swelling and the risk of scarring. The sooner and longer a burn is cooled with cold running water, the less the impact of the injury.
Detailed explanation-2: -Apply cool (not cold or ice) water for at least 5 minutes by running water over the burn, soaking it in a water bath or applying a clean, wet towel. Use a moisturizing lotion, such as aloe vera, once the skin has cooled. Protect the burn from pressure and friction and cover with a clean, dry cotton dressing.
