Why Choose Urgent Care for Minor Burns Treatment
At Monarch Medicine Urgent Care, we see firsthand how even a simple kitchen accident or quick brush with a hot surface can leave you in pain and unsure of what to do next. If you or your loved one experiences a minor burn, it’s important to know you don’t have to suffer or guess your way through healing.
We’re here to provide quick, compassionate care—without the ER wait, and without sacrificing the high level of medical attention you deserve.
Understanding Minor Burns
Minor burns are most commonly first-degree or small second-degree burns:
- First-degree burns affect only the top layer of skin and cause redness and pain—think mild sunburn or a quick touch to a hot pan.
- Second-degree burns, while still treatable in urgent care, affect deeper layers of skin and often result in blisters and more intense pain.
Most of these injuries happen at home—hot coffee spills, steam from cooking, curling irons, or brief flame exposure. While they may seem manageable, they still need the right treatment to heal properly and avoid infection.
