(notes for me) So basically first aid for burns would be:
1. removing the heat source;
2. taking off the babys clothes and nappy;
3. no ice as it is too cold;
4. Twenty minutes of pouring tap water;

One question, my one and a half year of brother got burned by reaching a cup of tea. The boiling water landed on his his chest, shoulder, chin and neck but I was wondering if he will have and permanent scars and how can we prevent scarring if we can? Thank you sm
