Treatment for Mild to Moderate Burns Available to Walk-In Patients From Spring, TX
Even if you heed the age-old warnings against playing with fire, there’s a good chance that you’ll get burned at least a few times during your lifetime. Maybe your skin will turn scarlet and start to blister after you take a long walk outside without applying sunscreen. Perhaps you’ll douse some slow-to-ignite charcoal with lighter fluid and endure a flash fire that burns your face and hands. Or maybe you’ll accidentally touch a hot cooking pan without the protection of an oven mitt.
These types of burns don’t always require professional medical treatment. But if you’re in Spring, Texas, and you’d like to have the peace of mind that you’re getting the best treatment for your burn, you can visit Medella Urgent Care. We treat patients of all ages for a wide variety of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, including mild to moderate burns. And our Vintage Park walk-in clinic near Spring is open during extended hours daily, including Saturday and Sunday.
When to Seek Burn Treatment at Medella Urgent Care
For most minor and moderate burns, at-home treatment should include immediately applying a cool cloth to the affected area, followed by aloe vera lotion. Don’t use ice or butter because these can potentially damage skin tissue. Electrical burns require special treatment and should be promptly evaluated by a medical practitioner.
If you have oozing blisters or your burn pain isn’t alleviated by the use of topical ointments, it’s a good idea to seek treatment at our walk-in clinic. Our highly qualified and experienced medical practitioners can evaluate your burn and provide treatment that will not only speed the healing process, but also prevent infection.
For burns that appear to be deep—penetrating beyond the skin layers to muscle or bone tissue—it’s best to seek emergency room treatment right away.
Contact Medella Urgent Care today if you have questions about the nonemergency burn treatment and other medical services we offer daily to Spring residents and visitors.
