How to treat a burn - How to treat burns at home
www.howdini.com Do you know what to do if you’re burned by direct heat, like from a stove top or a fire? Here’s vital information from dermatologist and author Dr. Doris Day, who explains how to treat minor burns at home, AND how to tell whether you need to get professional help. How to treat a burn Follow these steps to treat a minor burn from a grill or a stove. If you react in time, you may be able to avoid blisters and scars: * If you suffer a burn, get a cool pack not an ice pack. Apply it for 10 or 15 minutes. * Take an anti-inflammatory right away, like aspirin or ibuprofen. They will reduce redness and swelling. * A hydrocortisone cream also reduces redness and swelling. * An aloe vera plant (or gel) soothes the skin and helps to numb the pain. * Grind up some oatmeal, milk, honey, and aloe vera gel into a paste. Apply it directly to the burn. Let it sit for 10 or 15 minutes. It acts as a cool pack and can help prevent blisters. * If the skin immediately peels off or if the pain in unbearable, it is an indication of a deep burn. Call your doctor or visit the ER right away. While Dr. Day’s tips for treating a minor burn should help reduce the pain and swelling and perhaps blistering, be sure to monitor the burn area closely and seek medical expert medical help if you believe it to be infected or if you have skin immediately peeling in the area.

i burnt myself bad i lighte alchol on fire and it torched my hand and now i got a bubble
i had nothing of that and all my fingers were burned so i used like hell lot of ice and water
how I cured my burn:
1) Put toothpaste and leave it for 30 mins.
2)run it under cold water for 15-20 mins.
3)put a little bit more toothpaste and put gauze wrap around it.
4)change wrap every day.
Should be cured in at least 6-15 days depending on type of burn.
@dabmasta specially if you burned a finger or two like me… ouch
well i was stupid enough to do and eraser burn it is nasty!!!!!!!!!! help!
THIS IS NOT HOW TO TREAT A BURN!!!
Correct method:
Run under cold RUNNING water for 15 - 20 minutes (not a cold pack - this takes the burn from one temperature extreme to the other, not good for nerve tissue)
Cover with a non-adherent dressing for 2 days (change dressing daily)
You may use alovera, but do not pop any blisters - risks infection
i have a burn and im putting it in a cup of warm and soapy water and its feeling a little better
iburned my self from the straitner
