A burn occurs when skin tissue is damaged by heat, chemicals, sunlight, electricity, or radiation. The majority of burns are caused due to accidents. There are various degrees of burns- first degree, second degree and third degree burns. First-degree burns are minor (like most sunburns). The top layer of skin (epidermis) turns red and painful, but it usually does not blister. Second-degree burns affect the top and bottom layers of the skin (dermis). Pain, redness, swelling, and blistering are all possible side effects. Third-degree burns affect all three layers of the skin: the epidermis, dermis, and fat.
Burn ointment is a topically administered treatment applied on the burnt area of our body and is available in the form of gels, creams, oils and sprays. After cooling the burn injury with water, burn ointments are applied to heal the burn wounds. The types of ointment used depends upon the severity of burns. For example, some people use aloe vera gel as a home remedy to treat sunburns. While antibiotic creams are used to treat thermal burns. However, for the treatment of second and third degree burns, the healthcare provider may prescribe a stronger antibiotic cream containing silver, such as silver sulfadiazine, to prevent possible bacterial infections.
