A member asked:

Hello how do i treat a kettle water burn wound and is it safe to bath shower or do i avoid water coming into contact with the area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ice and topicals : Depends on how much injury to tissue. If you feel pain in the area, then this is at MOST a 2nd degree burn, and you will heal. If infected, use mupirocin topical 2-3 times a day, if not infected, use coconut oil and cover lightly until safely scabbed over the burn, good luck
