In case of burns and scalds, immediately hold the affected area under cold running tap water and cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes.

After thorough cooling, bandage the sore area with a sterile burn compress.

 

Under no circumstances should clothing or fibres that adhere to the skin be removed.

 

Do not prick any blisters yourself.

 

In case of burns on the face, hands or genitals or if the burn is larger than the palm of your hand, go immediately to the emergency doctor.
