7 Reasons To Never Put Ice On A Burn

It Can Damage Skin Tissue

Ice is too cold for damaged skin, and direct contact can cause frostbite or further skin damage, which can worsen the burn.

Slows Down Healing

Extreme cold can restrict blood flow to the affected area, which slows down the blood’s natural healing process.

Increases Risk of Infection

Damaged and irritated skin is more prone to infection and if ice is applied on it it can create blisters and make it more worst.

May Cause More Pain

Though it feels soothing at first, the intense cold can increase pain as nerves may react to the sudden temperature change.

Disrupts Body Temperature

If the ice is applied on a large burn, it can shock the system and affect your body temperature regulation.

Can Make the Burn Deeper

The tissues beneath the skin layer can be damaged which can cause a minor burn to a major burn

Not Recommended by Medical Experts

Doctors and first aid guidelines advise against using ice on your burns, and they recommend cold water instead.
