Virtual Care for Minor Burns

Minor Burns from Summer Cooking

Summer is the season for backyard barbecues, campfires, family cookouts, and outdoor gatherings. While making memories around the grill is part of the fun, accidental contact with hot grills, cookware, steam, or food can sometimes result in minor burns.

Many minor burns can be cared for at home, but it's important to monitor them closely for increasing pain, swelling, redness, or signs that they may need medical attention. If you're unsure whether your burn requires further evaluation, speaking with a healthcare provider can help you determine the next steps.

Common symptoms may include:

• Red or tender skin
• Mild swelling
• Pain or burning sensation
• Warmth around the affected area
• Small superficial burn injuries
