Best Answer

A second degree burn requires medical attention if it covers a large portion of the face, hands, buttocks, groin, or feet. For smaller areas of a second degree burn, the area should be placed under running cool water for at least 15 minutes. Antibiotic cream should be applied to the blisters, and anti-inflammatory pain medication such as aspirin or acetaminophen can be used.

Do you need a master's degree to be a neurologist?

No, to be a neurologist there is no Master's degree required. What you need is to get an undergraduate bachelors degree so that you can get into medical school, and then earn a medical degree such as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree, a Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree, or a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. After you are done with medical school, you must do several years of residency to specialize in the field of neurology.
