Sunburns, kitchen accidents in holiday apartments, or touching hot surfaces at the beach — minor burns and scalds are unfortunately common when you’re on vacation in Mallorca. If you’re staying in Cala Ratjada, Canyamel, Cala Mesquida or Cala Agulla, here’s what you can do to treat a burn injury and where to find medical help nearby.
🩹 First aid steps for minor burns:
- Cool the area immediately with clean, cold water for at least 10 minutes.
- Remove tight clothing or jewellery near the burn.
- Avoid applying toothpaste, oil or butter — this can make it worse.
- Cover with a sterile dressing or clean cloth.
If the burn is large, blistered, or very painful — especially in children or elderly people — it’s best to visit a local health clinic in Mallorca.
