What to do if skin burns
Dr. Soumya Sachdeva in the Department of Dermatology at Max Hospital, Ghaziabad. It is said that if the skin gets burnt due to firecrackers during Diwali, then first pour water on that area. Do not apply toothpaste, coffee powder, turmeric on the skin. Applying these can increase infection. If blisters appear on your skin, do not pop them.
