First Aid - Burns

Q. Should I use ice to cool the burn?

No, use water only. Ice may further damage the skin.

Q. Should I put a plaster over a burn to make sure it doesn't get infected?

One should not use any adhesive bandages as it’ll stick to the skin and may cause further damage. Instead the burns should be covered with cling film or a clean plastic bag which will help prevent infection.
