Why experts warn against putting ice on burns

Applying ice to burns, a common home remedy, can worsen tissue damage due to frostbite and reduced blood flow. Experts advise against using ice, butter, or oil. Instead, cool minor burns with cool running water for 10-20 minutes, keep the wound clean and moist, and use aloe vera or antibiotic ointment as needed. Seek professional help for severe burns.
