Is it safe to get a burn wet, and if so, how should you properly care for it"?

It is generally safe to get a burn wet, but it is important to use cool or lukewarm water, not hot water. Proper care for a burn includes gently washing the area with mild soap and water, applying an antibiotic ointment, and covering it with a sterile bandage. If the burn is severe or covers a large area, seek medical attention.
