Burns that involve the hands, face, feet, genitals, or cover an extremity or the chest are particularly dangerous.
More serious burns cause white, charred skin and loss of pain sensitivity.
Irrigate with tap water and clean with soap and water. Cover with gauze dressings. Clean off all Silvadene cream with soap and water with each dressing change. Blisters may be ruptured. Remove the dead skin with sterile scissors and tweezers Chemical burns should be flushed with water until all burning pain has stopped, and all contaminated clothes should be removed.
