Gently removing the yellow, flush affected area with cool water. To relieve pain, you can substitute the burn under a gentle stream of cool water for 5-7 minutes. Blot the damaged skin clean (preferably sterile) cloth. After this procedure, you need to feel the investment. If the situation, on the contrary, worsens, doctor must.

Treat the burn with an antiseptic drug with a sedative effect, such as miramistina, sintomitsinovoy or furatsilinovoy ointment. Apply dressings and bandage affected area to eliminate possible contact with other objects. Contrary to popular stereotype, a fresh burn from the shot in any case can not be lubricated with animal fat or other fat-containing substances.
