Superficial scrapes should be treated by washing gently with soap and water, and keep clean and covered with a bandage. Bacitracin can be applied prior to bandaging. A superficial burn can also be treated that way. If the burn is blistered, don't pop the blister. Watch for any redness or swelling or fever and see your doctor if any of this develops. For extensive burns, get seen by a doctor.

Clean ulcers with soap and water and let open to air if kn exposed areas, or cover with gauze to protect further injury from rubbing . Make sure they don’t get infected, especially if you’re a diabetic. Apply ice to burns, then silvadene ointment. See doctor id redness or drainage develops. Last tetanus?
