Thanks
Answers:
The last answer is correct, but be sure you go to the Pharmacy and get 100% pure medical grade aelo vera gel. It has no smell and no greasy addatives and is a concentrated form. It's More expensive the the normal lotions, but works a lot better.
Try some aloe vera gel; put it in the fridge to get it nice and cold and put some on the burn. It feels SO good, and the aloe really helps keep it moisturized and soft as it heals.
A burn on the hands, face or genitals requires immediate medical attention.
How is a first-degree burn treated?
Cool the burn under running water for several minutes.
Soothe the area with aloe-vera cream or burn ointment.
Take Tylenol or Ibuprofen per the bottle directions for pain.
Monitor site for blistering.
Apply Bacitracin or Neosporin.
Cover with gauze.
If you have concerns or questions about the burn site, contact your primary care physician.
How is a minor second-degree burn treated?
Submerge the burned area in cold water as soon as possible. Keep the burned area in cold water for 5 minutes.
Treat the area the same as first degree burns, although your doctor may prescribe Silvadene cream (instead of Bacitracin or Neosporin).
If blisters occur, leave them alone. Do not break the blisters. Apply sterile gauze over blisters if clothing irritates the site.
If the blisters open on their own, clean with water and apply Silvadene or antibiotic ointment.
Covser with gauze.
Do not touch the burn site with dirty hands.
Monitor the site for yellow drainage or for infection. Contact your doctor if this occurs or if you have any questions or concerns.
Depending on how long it has been healing you should really go to a doctor.
