When treating burns, avoid actions that could further damage the skin or impede healing.
Here's a breakdown of what to avoid:
- Avoid direct ice application: Placing ice directly on a burn can cause further skin damage.
- Avoid prolonged soaking: Soaking the burn for more than 15 minutes should be avoided.
- Avoid removing stuck clothing: If clothing is stuck to the burned skin, do not attempt to remove it yourself. Seek immediate medical attention instead.
