Q&A: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TREAT THIS BURN?

Question by Brandi H:
What is the ideal way to treat this burn?
My 18 month old climbed up on my six year olds desk exactly where she has numerous lamps to do her homework by. Properly I caught her the very first time and put her down but inside of a few minutes the child climbed back up and got burned on her arm by two of the lamps. They are each a tiny larger than quarter sized and one particular has a blister the size of an eraser. What is the greatest way to treat these burns? They appear like a negative sun burn (dark red in color) and are on her forearm.

Answer by Sheila
Gently clean the area with cool soap and water and put on an antibiotic burn cream. They might still blister. Watch for infection. A single of my sons, now 17, burned their fore arm as a toddler on a outdoor lamp that illuminated my Mother’s flag at night and it swiftly became infected. Children are just tough to preserve germ-cost-free.
