2. The burn is not serious (referring to first-degree burns in which the epidermis is red but no blisters occur). For those who suffer from minor burns, they can generally be treated at home. Rinse and clean the wound with cold boiled water (or light salt water). For wounds on the limbs and trunk, apply comfrey oil or burn ointment and wrap them with gauze.

You should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. The hospital will perform professional bandaging and inject antibiotics or tetanus antitoxin to prevent infection.
