Myth: Put butter or ice on a burn
‘Most of the damage from a burn actually comes from the skin’s inflammatory response to it. The best way to keep a partial thickness burn from going to full thickness is to immediately immerse the burn in cool water.
Makes sense, right? That feels good and the body has learned how to protect itself. Butter, however, spreads heat very effectively so it will actually make a burn worse. Ice can damage cells and has also been shown to make burns worse.’ – Amy Baxter, MD, emergency pediatrician, founder and CEO of MMJ Labs LLC
