What else could I use for a 1st degree burn?

Hello, Elijah.

A burn is an open wound and the use of a wet towel will stick to the skin as it is fluffy. The use of clean fresh clingfilm will not only prevent dirt entering the wound, it will also prevent any furher loss of fluid, and this will help when treating the casualty for shock!!

Pls don´t use palstic material to cover the burnscope, better with a wet towel to cover with!

@Voldenjunior you're meant to use clingfilm, wet towels are fluffy and like it says don't use materials like that
