When the skin is burned by a medicated plaster, discontinue using the plaster immediately and gently rinse the affected area with clean water to remove any residual ointment. Afterwards, apply a mild anti-inflammatory or burn ointment to relieve pain and prevent infection. If the burn is severe, with symptoms such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus indicating infection, seek medical attention promptly for professional treatment. During recovery, keep the injured area clean and dry, and avoid friction or scratching to promote healing.
