When to Go to an Urgent Care for Burn Treatment

​

Burn treatment from a medical professional isn’t always necessary. For example, first degree burns can usually be remedied at home by running cool (not cold) water over the affected area or using a wet, cool compress to ease pain.

​

Second-degree burns, however, are best treated in an urgent care setting by a medical professional who can properly clean and bandage the wound, ease discomfort, and prevent infection. Be sure to promptly visit a reputable immediate care center like Lifeline Urgent Care for treatment if a burn is:

​

• Markedly red

• Blistering

• Swelling

• Peeling

• Causing significant pain

​

When to Go to the ER for Burn Treatment   

​

Third- and fourth-degree burns require treatment in an emergency room. Call 911 or head to your nearest ER if a burn:  

​

• Looks bad but causes little to no pain

• Appears white, yellowish, charred, blackened, or leathery

• Covers a large portion of the body

• Occurs on the face
