Should you put ice on a severe burn i have 3rd degree burns on my arm i was wondering if i can put ice on them

See a plastic/burn : 3rd degree means full thickness. U need 2 be seen by a burn specialist. Do not put any oils and such on it. If the area is large enough a scin graft will b needed. Plastic usually follow burns, b cn!
