Burns are by far the worst wound in the game. Players can’t just bandage them and move on. Fire damage is one of the most efficient ways to destroy anything in the game, including yourself. And if you don’t pay attention to your wounds, you’re going to get an infection, and might even die.

For any type of burn in PZ, you then need to bandage it up. You need to constantly change bandages for clean ones all the time, usually every day. You also need to clean the wound by washing it regularly. Make sure you have a ready supply of bandages and sanitizing supplies for this. That’s what makes this so hard to manage, as you constantly need to worry about a burn in Project Zomboid. Boiling water is a great way to keep cleaning used bandages, so get on top of that ASAP.
