Burn - Second Degree
This shows a second degree burn that is caused by heat. The burn area is swollen and bulging with blisters.
First Aid Care Advice:
- Right away, put the burned part in cold tap water or pour cold water over it for 10 minutes. Reason: this lessens the depth of the burn and relieves pain.
- Cover with a cold wet washcloth and seek emergency care.
