How to treat a freezer pack burn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SImple basic care: Burns are the response of the tissues to injury from temperature extremes.It is simply inflammation which means increase blood flow to the area to promote healing. Depth determines care. Anti-inflammation medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen) will help. Avoid any further damage as this can cause scarring . Good skin cream applied daily/gently help and keep the area protected from trauma. No antibiotics.
