[QUOTE="XGC GR8IMDEDNOW, post: 67162, member: 25463"] Untraceable - This is summarized from the Penn State Hershey Medical Center site, however you should have the burn at least looked at by a physician to determine severity and risk of infection. After all, It's kinda tough to play if you end up losing an arm! Hope this Helps: "Minor burns are treated at home, while moderate and critical burns require hospital treatment.
