When you come to Reddy Urgent Care for a second-degree burn injury, our doctors and medical professionals will provide swift and thorough medical care to treat your burn and help it start the healing process as soon as possible. In order to do so, we will first ask you to remove any clothing, jewelry, or other accessories in the area of the burn if it is possible. If you need help in doing so, our medical professionals would be happy to offer their assistance. We will then cool the burn with cool water before covering the burn with gauze or a loose dressing in a way that allows for continued circulation and oxygen supply. Depending on the severity and location of the burn, your doctor may clean the wound, apply antibiotic cream, administer intravenous antibiotics, or write a prescription for oral antibiotics to prevent and fight off any infection. Once your doctor has provided you with sufficient care, they will send you home with instructions on how to take care of your burn as it heals properly.
