Michaela Powell:
Dr. Lisa, what's the best way to treat a burn?
Dr. Lisa Thornton:
The thing to do with burns is first of all, to stop the burning process. So if it's a small burn, run the burned area under lukewarm water, about room temperature. That will help stop the burning process. Then, put a little antibiotic ointment on it and cover that burn so it can heal well.
