It’s easy to get a burn on your arm or hand from a hot pan while cooking. Extremely hot water — over 110 degrees Fahrenheit — can cause burns, as can stoves, fires, hot food and the sun.

Most burns are minor and you can manage them at home, but it’s important to know the signs of a more serious burn. More severe burns can cause serious complications and may require emergency treatment. One of the most important things to do is to act fast.

Burns cause different degrees of damage.

  • A first-degree burn is minor. It affects only the outer layer of the skin.
  • A second-degree burn affects the second layer of skin, called the dermis.
  • A third-degree burn reaches into the deeper layers beneath the skin.

Treating a minor burn

There are many myths about how to treat a minor burn. Your questions may include: Should you pop the blister? Do you use hot or cold water on it? Is it good to cover a burn with a bandage?

Follow these tips for treating a minor burn:

  • Place the burned area under running water slightly colder than room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes or until the pain eases. Or put a cool, clean, damp cloth on the burn.
  • Be aware that the burned area may swell. Remove tight items, such as rings or clothing, from the burned area as quickly as possible.
  • Do not break a blister if it’s bigger than your little fingernail. If the blister does break, clean it with mild soap and water. Apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover the area with a bandage or gauze.
  • Applying moisturizer, aloe vera gel or other pain relief gels may provide temporary relief. Don’t slather on butter — sometimes mentioned as a home remedy — because it retains heat and could be contaminated with bacteria.
  • Keep the wound covered with a loose dressing to help it stay clean and decrease pain.
  • Ease the pain with an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as Ibuprofen, naproxen or acetaminophen.
  • Make sure you’ve had a tetanus shot within the last 10 years because you can get tetanus through an open wound in the skin.

When to see your health care team after a burn

See your health care team if the symptoms worsen or a larger blister develops. Large blisters are best removed by health care professional as they rarely will remain intact on their own.

Also, seek care if the burn:

  • Covers a large area of the body
  • Has other associated injuries
  • Has infection-like signs, such as oozing from the wound, increased pain, redness and swelling
  • Involves the area around the eyes, nose or mouth
  • Is severe or deep

Call 911 for emergency medical help for major burns.

10 rules of life. Diary of a very funny woman. / Centralized Library System of Kanavinsky District

They say about people like me: show your finger – they will laugh. Yes it is. It’s nothing you can do. I can laugh to tears at the most insignificant occasion. For example, having heard about the recipe for jelly from the tails. The trouble is that I have a very rich imagination. In my brain, words instantly take on a visual image, and an image instantly appears, as on a monitor screen. Sometimes my laughter confuses people. I laughed in the hospital five minutes after the birth of my most beloved person. He was an exact copy of the one who was lucky enough to become his father. The resemblance was amazing: even the manner of wrinkling the nose and the displeased expression on the face. It was impossible to look at it calmly, and I laughed like the biblical Sarah. Two doctors, who had been working with me for three days, decided that the cuckoo had “flyed” at the problematic woman in labor, and they gave me a sedative injection.

I laugh when other women cry, or at least get very upset. For example, when a heel breaks, tights are torn, or you slam on a freshly painted bench. I repeat: I have a rich imagination, and I see all this as if from the outside. And yet – everyone knows the situation: you wander around the apartment and try in vain to remember where you put your favorite sneakers. You stop under the mezzanine, look up thoughtfully, open the door – bam! The box flies down, the contact area is under the eye! The next morning, to everyone who is curious about where I got a savory black eye, I am pleased to announce: “Yesterday I fought with my husband, I won!” Everyone immediately begins to sympathize with her husband: “Poor man, what’s wrong with him? If she has such blanche? Lonely ladies are jealous: they don’t even have to fight with anyone! So the main rule of my life appeared: “You should not cry where you can laugh.” I received this rule from my father – an incorrigible optimist, humorist and merry fellow. No one could make me laugh like he did. Once, rescuers at sea almost by mistake loaded us into a boat. We laughed so hard that bubbles floated on the water. Having swum to the buoy, we lay on our backs, swayed on the waves, rested. Examining the toes of his feet, dad, in all seriousness, began to tell me that the well-known combination of three fingers can be shown not only with the hands, but also with the feet, then he demonstrated it. Therefore, I had another rule: if you can’t laugh, don’t start! You start, you don’t stop.

But the very first rule of my life came to me at the age of five, in kindergarten. In those distant years, summer walks of kindergartners were long. From 9 am after breakfast to 12 noon. Each group had its own area. On each – except for a wooden slide, a house, a swing and a sandbox – there was a wooden veranda, painted in a standard green or blue color, and in the corner, behind the veranda, a small, the same green or blue fence, inside – a wooden scaffolding, in which a round hole. No wonder – such toilets were in those years at all stations and even in the yards of apartment buildings. But I lived in an apartment with sewerage and a normal toilet! Therefore, I really did not like the green booth with the stinking hole. I preferred to endure during the walk, just not to go into this cloaca. My classmates did not differ in such squeamishness. They kept running into the booth, peeping at each other through the cracks and complaining to the teacher if someone did “by”. One day, one of the young oligophrenics came up with an exciting game – to jump over the hole with two feet from a place. I remember that I did not agree for a long time, but somehow they persuaded me. I still don’t jump well. But then… Of course, they washed me, but I still remember the smell. Since then, I have firmly observed the rule: never jump over other people’s poop – you can get into trouble! It is better to bypass them for three kilometers.

Another rule came to me at the age of 16. My mother inspired me from the cradle that a girl should be clean, neat, and study well. And in every possible way to decorate yourself, follow the fashion – it’s a shame. When you become an adult, you will dress up. Becoming an “adult” was postponed indefinitely. I had size 34 feet. Therefore, until the age of sixteen, shoes were bought for me in the children’s world, I went almost in sandals. When I was in the ninth grade, my mother discovered that I absolutely cannot walk in heels, and graduation is ahead! I was bought miracle shoes of the Czech company “cebo”. I still remember the soft maroon leather, the narrow nose, the graceful boat shoe, the thin but stable heel. I wore these shoes for a long time. But then … I walked in them at home on the carpet for a long time. They felt so comfortable, tight but soft around the foot. Then, in these shoes, I went to a disco for selected, very smart children. It was organized for the winners of the Olympiads and Komsomol activists. The fact that there was nothing for me to do, I understood immediately. Those who came there were not interested in me or my shoes. Dancing was also of little interest. The children were smart and active. I sat down on a chair with a clapping seat (there used to be such in clubs, fastened several in a row), pulled off my shoes from my aching feet and thought: should I go home barefoot or put on this tool of the Inquisition again? Walking on carpet at home is not at all like walking on asphalt and parquet. Then I hobbled home. But I firmly learned two rules. First: first spread – then dance! And second: if the shoes are too tight, take them off! By the way, this applies not only to shoes – everything: work, relationships. I had to change shoes in my life: not often, but it happened.

The following five rules also appeared in the process of life. One thing I always keep. It is known that money goes to money, problems to problems, where it is thin, it breaks there. There is always a temptation to cry, complain, how unlucky! But there are things that do not decrease from division, but increase! This applies not only to joy, but also to problems. Everyone to whom you told how you got the money, what a terrible diagnosis you were given, what a scoundrel and scoundrel your husband is, of course, they will sympathize with you, perhaps even offer help, but slowly exhale: “Thank God, it’s not with me.” They will discuss it in an undertone, put forward assumptions and bewilderment, how could this happen to you at all? After all, this could have been avoided if . .. to do this and that. And the problem, meanwhile, increases exactly as many times as people know about it. Your trouble is grinning and fueled by the emotions of “sympathizers” and grows to the size of a disaster. The less people know about your troubles, the faster they will end. This is my sixth rule, which I successfully apply in my life. Recently it happened to me … No, I will not say: the rule is the rule! I will only say that the problem, which most take years to solve, was eliminated by me in a few months. I told my close friends about it later. They were amazed: “How? And did you have it? When? You’re kidding! Nobody even noticed!

My seventh rule: even if you are very offended by someone, do not stoop to revenge. Let the universe punish the villain, it always wisely distributes sweets and cuffs. But not by yourself! The Italians say: “Revenge is a dish served cold. It is better not to cook this dish either cold or hot. Because before serving, you still have to try it yourself. “Revenge” – “eats me.” It eats up our time, energy and feelings. This is the most precious thing we have. Throw it in a muddy puddle? Spend on a bastard? See rule 3: get around other people’s poop within 3 kilometers!

The eighth rule: the best thing in life is life! Nothing hurts only the dead. There is no need to rush there. I completely agree with Comrade Sukhov: “The dead, of course, are calmer, but it’s painfully boring!” This rule came to me recently. When I breathe in the damp spring air, when I get wet in the rain without an umbrella, I remember those who will never experience such pleasure again. The list of those who will never be offended by me, from whom I will never ask for forgiveness, is lengthening every day. My head hurts – I’m glad that there is something to hurt. I burn my fingers on a hot saucepan – but I have fingers and a saucepan!

The ninth rule also came with age. They say that with age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone. I don’t know if wisdom has come to me, but the time of desire has come, and another rule has appeared.
