Lacerations and burns can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Knowing how to properly care for them is critical in their healing process. If the wound is bleeding profusely, immediately apply direct pressure to the area and seek medical attention. If minor, rinse the area with cool water and apply a sterile bandage or dressing. Burns require similar protocol but without the addition of water. If the burn covers a large area or exhibits blisters, prompt treatment from a medical professional is necessary.
