Burns occur when tissue is damaged due to scalding. When treating first-degree burns at home, follow these steps:
1. Cool the burn quickly as possible under cool (not cold) running water
2. Remove any items, like jewelry, from burned area before swelling takes place
3. Avoid puncturing blisters
4. Cover burn with a sterile gauze bandage
5. You may take over the counter pain reliever to relive pain
