Answers:
Mam,

Although it will likely not help at this point, in such a case, you should:

-Immediately pour cool water on and around the burn site, as this will stop the "burning process" of the skin.

-Does she have any glass in her leg.? Is there any major bleeding.? Do not attempt to remove any shards; if there is bleeding, you may attempt to control is with pressure and, if necessary, stopping the blood flow at the nearest artery (likely the popliteal artery).

-What kind of burn is it--is the site red, pussy, or black.? How much skin is affected.? Determine if it is a serious burn and 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degrees.

Either call an ambulance or transport her to the hospital yourself if the bleeding or burns are major.Health Question & Answer

Always, Always cold water on a burn first. You have to get the burn to stop burning the other layers of skin, never put ice or butter on a burn. Once the burning is stopped check to see if the leg is cut. If the cut is deep it may need stitches, if not make sure there is no glass in it and bandage it if it is not bleeding profusely. Check it tomorrow for infection and continue to clean it and bandage it for another day or two to keep dirt out and prevent infection. After a couple of days allow the air to get to it and heal it. If at any time the cut looks infected take her to the Doctor.Health Question & Answer
