Minor household burns happen quickly — touching a hot pan, spilling warm food, or brushing against a curling iron. Knowing simple first-aid steps helps protect the skin and keep the area clean.

Step 1: Cool the Area

Run cool (not cold) water over the burn for 10–15 minutes. This helps soothe the skin.

Step 2: Gently Clean the Burn

Use mild soap and water to clean the area. Avoid scrubbing.

Step 3: Apply a First-Aid Antiseptic

A foam antiseptic designed for minor burns — like NOxyDERM™ — helps:

• Protect the wound
  

• Helps protect against infection
  

Foam formulas make application easy without touching the area too much.

Step 4: Cover If Needed

If the burn is in a spot that may rub against clothing, place a loose, sterile bandage on top.

Step 5: Support the Skin’s Appearance

As the burn recovers, products containing nitric oxide — such as NOxyDERM™ — may help reduce the appearance of scars and promote healthier-looking skin.

Important: If a burn is large, blistering, extremely painful, or not minor — seek medical care immediately. Only use these steps for minor burns.
