Burned fingers can be washed during a bath, as long as the burned finger does not come into contact with running water. Of course, if the finger burn is only minor, merely affecting the epidermis, it actually does not matter if it comes into contact with water while bathing.

However, if the burn is severe, then it must not come into contact with water to prevent infection and worsening of the condition. The main treatment for finger burns involves disinfecting and protecting the burned area, controlling infection, and promoting recovery. Bathing does not affect this process.
