In order to treat a burn on your hand it is important to know what type of burn it is. A superficial burn (known as a first degree burn) should be placed under cool running water.

How should you treat a burn?
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.

Do you put toothpaste on burns?
Depending on the cause and degree of the burn different treatments should be used. In most cases running the affected area under RUNNING cold water for 10 minutes or until the affected area loses most of the burning pain sensation. Some people recommend that the area should then be wrapped in something to block infection, suitable materials are things like clingfilm or even a plastic shopping bag NOT any form of clothing or fabric as this will most likely stick into the burn and cause more problems later on, DO NOT use COTTON WOOL. This may be more for a third degree burn, but it may just be best to get immediate medical attention. No. For first and second degree burns run cold water over them. For third degree burns do not put them under cold water, seek emergency medical assistance immediately. Never put anything like toothpaste on a burn of any kind.
