Covering a burn reduces the risk of infection and reduce pain by covering exposed nerve endings. This is why it is such an important way to treat a burn or scald. You can also use proper burn dressings which contain a cooling agent; however these should be used with caution when dressing extensive burns as they can lead to hypothermia.

Burns and scalds occur when excessive heat damages the skin. Burns are caused by dry heat (for example, a fire), and scalds are caused by something wet (like hot water). You can treat burns and scalds in the same way. A burn or scald may be painful, and you may notice red or peeling skin, blisters, swelling or white and charred skin. Always call 999 if you think the burn is serious. Get medical advice if you're not sure or if a baby or child has been burned.

Electrical burns may not look serious, but they can be very damaging. Someone who has an electrical burn should seek immediate medical attention at an A&E department.

If the person has been injured by a low-voltage source (up to 220 to 240 volts), such as a domestic electricity supply, safely switch off the power supply or remove the person from the electrical source using a material that doesn't conduct electricity, such as a wooden stick or a wooden chair.

Do not approach a person who's connected to a high-voltage source (1,000 volts or more).
