3. BURNS AND HOW TO TREAT THEM
First Degree Burn – A first degree burn
is the least severe. It only burns the
first layer of skin leaving it red and
probably a little sore. A sun burn is a
prime example of a first degree
burn. These burns you can treat
yourself and do not have to seek
medical attention.

Second Degree Burn – This burn penetrates
through to the second layer of skin. It is
slightly more severe than a first degree
burn. With this burn you can expect blisters,
red splotchy skin, and often intense
throbbing pain. If you do not see blisters
then you can treat the burn yourself with
some Aloe Vera or burn ointment.

7. BURNS AND HOW TO TREAT THEM
Third Degree Burn – A third degree burn is
the most intense and severe burn. You should
seek medical attention immediately to help
treat the burn. A third degree burn has
burned through all three layers of skin and
sometimes even continues on into the muscle
and even the bone. You will see charred and
blackened skin but the victim will probably
feel no pain because the burn has done
damage to the nerves leaving no feeling.

8. BURNS AND HOW TO TREAT THEM
Treatment: Do not remove burned clothing unless it is
causing more burn damage to the victim. Do not
immerse large areas in cold or cool water as this may
cause a large drop in temperature and victim may
experience hypothermia. Do not cover burns in gauze
which can put lint into the open wounds. Elevate the
burned area above the heart. Cover the victim’s burns in
a cool, sterile, damp cloth to help cool the burn. Usually
in cases were the skin has been burned off the victim
will need a skin graph to help them heal.
