Electrical burns
An electrical burn can cause both entry and exit wound, as the current enters and leaves the body. You must find both to treat the victim.

Electrical burns CAN do that, but don't always.
The burn from a tracer round.
Electrical. Generally there will be an entrance on the hand and an exit on the foot.
A burn itself does not typically cause entry and exit wounds; those are more characteristic of penetrating injuries, such as gunshot wounds. However, in the case of electrical burns, there can be points of entry and exit where the electrical current enters and exits the body, potentially causing severe tissue damage along its path. This can resemble the features of an entry and exit wound but is fundamentally different from traditional burn injuries.
Electrical burns look like an in-and-out gunshot: small entry with big exit. The entry port - surrounding skin will look "leathery". High velocity spatter (spalling) from an armor piercing round will cause an entry and exit wound with a severe burn. White phosphorus and similar materials including magnesium flares can burn straight through an extremity.

What is it called when you remove debris from a wound, fracture, or burn
No, you can not put a cotton on a burn wound. This is because the cotton can easily get stuck on the wound and become very difficult when removing it.
