Frequently Asked Questions about Burns & Scalds Care

If the burn is blistering, larger than a £2 coin, or on sensitive areas such as the face, hands, or joints - seek treatment immediately.

Yes. Our consultants are trained to assess and treat minor chemical and electrical burns safely. Severe burns requiring hospitalisation are referred immediately.

Mild burns can often be cooled under running water, but deeper or larger injuries should be assessed by a clinician to prevent infection and scarring.

We use advanced dressings and follow-up care to reduce scarring risk. Additional scar therapies can be arranged through our specialists if needed.

We ensure your comfort at every stage with effective pain management and gentle wound handling.
