Can urgent care treat burns?

HomeQuestionsUrgent CareCan urgent care treat burns?

Quick Answer

Yes, for first- and second-degree burns that aren't extensive and don't involve the face, hands, feet, groin, or major joints. We clean, dress, and arrange follow-up. Larger burns, third-degree burns, electrical or chemical burns, and any burn with airway involvement need an emergency department or a burn center.
