Minor Burns
Since complications can occur in even the smallest burns, be sure to follow
the physicians instructions carefully.
Home Treatment:
- All burns require medical follow - up. Be sure to keep your return
appointment no matter how you feel.
- If you notice any sign of infection - fever, yellow pus, or a foul smell
- see physician immediately.
- Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you may wash the burn daily with
soap and water and then re-dress it with the ointment.
- Please take the medications as directed.
- As the burn heals, the skin and joints nearby can become stiff. To loosen
them you should exercise the joints and muscles around your burn as soon as
healing begins.
