When to Go to Urgent Care for Minor Burn Treatment
It’s important to know the difference between a minor burn and a severe burn that warrants emergency medical care. In general, first- and second-degree burns can be treated at fully equipped urgent care centers like PhysicianOne Urgent Care. Signs of these burns include:
- Pain
- Redness
- Blistering
- Swelling
- Small red or white splotches
While urgent care centers can provide treatment for minor burns, third-degree burns (the most severe type) should be addressed in an ER. Call 911 or head straight to the ER if a burn:
- Looks significant but does not cause pain
- Is numb
- Appears charred, leathery, black, brown, or white
It’s also wise to go to the ER if a burn covers a large area of the body or was caused by chemicals or electricity, even if it does not look severe.
