For a first degree burn (redness), you should cool the skin with aloe, gels, ice packs, or cool water. For a second degree burn (blisters) you can do the same as a first degree burn, but be extra careful not to pop any blisters. For a third degree burn (charred skin), Do not apply anything to the bun. Gently cover it with a sterile bandage and seek professional medical help.

For 3rd degree burns, do not run under water, do not apply ice, do not apply any gels, ointments, or creams, do not attempt to remove the clothing.

∙ 12y agoFirst figure out how bad the burn is. For first and second degree burns(redness and blisters), you can run the burn under cool water. You can also apply an ice pack or some Aloe Vera gel/spray. If it is really bad, call 911. For third and electrical burns(charred/burned skin), you call 911. Then you cover the burn with a sterile bandage. DO NOT apply ointments, gels, or creams. DO NOT run under water or apply ice. DO NOT attempt to remove the clothing from affected area.
