Burn/Biling Water: It depends on degree and area of burn.Ist degree burns only need ice locally immidiately after burn is caused, if there are blisters you need to see your doctor, will need silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) cream locally and to prevent infection.It also depends on the part of body that has been burnt with boiling water.
