Burn Treatment

Burns can happen unexpectedly—whether from a hot surface, scalding liquid, open flame, or chemical exposure. At North Ave Immediate Care in Addison, IL, we provide fast, expert care for minor to moderate burns. Our goal is to relieve your pain, prevent infection, and promote proper healing while minimizing the risk of scarring.

When to Seek Care

  • The burn is larger than 3 inches in diameter
  • It affects the face, hands, feet, or groin
  • Blistering or skin discoloration appears
  • The burn is caused by chemicals or electricity
  • You notice signs of infection like redness, warmth, or pus
  • Pain continues or worsens over time

Home Care Tips

Cool the burn immediately

Run cool (not cold) water over the area for 10–15 minutes.

Apply a soothing ointment

Aloe vera or antibiotic cream can ease pain and prevent infection.

Cover with a sterile bandage

Keep the area clean and protected.

Avoid popping blisters

This increases the risk of infection.

Take pain relievers if needed

Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen can help.
