What do you put on a burn from the grease were cooking chicken?

If you have a minor grease burn from cooking chicken, you can take the following steps to treat it:

1. Cool the burn immediately: Run the affected area under cool (not cold) water for at least 10-15 minutes. Avoid applying ice or cold packs, as these can cause further tissue damage.

2. Remove clothing or jewelry: If any clothing or jewelry is covering the burn, carefully remove it. Be gentle and avoid pulling or removing pieces of skin that may have stuck to the fabric.

3. Clean the burn: Gently wash the burn with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any grease or debris. Pat dry with a clean towel.

4. Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment: Apply a thin layer of a over-the-counter antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin or Polysporin. Avoid applying thick creams or lotions, as these can trap heat and worsen the burn.

5. Cover the burn with a sterile dressing: Cover the burn with a sterile bandage or dressing to protect it from infection and further injury. Change the dressing daily or as needed to keep it clean and dry.

6. Take over-the-counter pain relievers: If you are experiencing pain, you may take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage discomfort.

7. Monitor for signs of infection: Keep an eye on the burn for any signs of infection, such as increasing pain, swelling, redness, or pus. If you suspect an infection, consult a doctor immediately.

8. Avoid breaking blisters: If blisters develop, do not break or puncture them. Blisters provide a protective barrier and popping them can increase the risk of infection.

Remember, these steps are for minor grease burns. If the burn is severe, consult a medical professional for proper treatment and assessment.
