Answers:
DO NOT put butter or oil of any sort on your burn. The only thing you should be doing is soaking it in as cold a water as you can stand. Keep it soaking - if it's in an awkward place (above the elbow) soak a clean washcloth in cold water and keep dabbing it.
I'm very serious here - water is the ONLY thing you put on a burn like that. Do not use oil of any kind!
WHy does my urine smell like sulfer?
butter will help
Butter will NOT help, it will make it fry. Put an ice pack on it for at least thirty minutes. Repeat as needed every hour. Silvadene creme, found at most drug stores will keep in free from infection and prevent blistering.
I did the same thing last month. I just held ice on it for a few hours. It helped numb the pain. The redness went away after about 2 days.
Is chocolate good for you?how?
no butter..holds in the heat! Put some aloe vera on it if you have it. Ice helps a bunch or really really cold water. Watch out for creams and lotions because they can hold the heat in and make the burn worse.

Run cold water over the area. Good burn remedies are Solarcaine spray, or Noxzema cream that you can get at the pharmacy.
Is it ok if you clean a wound with listerine if you have no other cleanser or alcohol?
Aloe or aloe vera gel is best. Or, the same medication, usually spray, you use for sunburn.
Put a cold flannel on it and change it frequently. Try and get some aloe vera gel, its fanrtasic stuff. We have a plant so any burns get immediate treatment. Its cools and takes the pain away almost completely. I burn myself about 2 weeks ago in the same way as you. It is only just healing over as it was quite bad, but putting the plant sap on it every day meant that I had very little pain with it.
Why does my tongue turn black over night after taking a pepto bismo chewable tablet?
Do you have an aloe plant, break open one of the stems and put the gel on your burn..Or keep your arm in cool water that will help relieve some of the pain, also take a Advil.If the burn is real bad and is starting to blister call your doctor, or I called the number on the back of my insurance card and spoke to a nurse.good luck

How long can i have my tongue ring out for?
Ooh, these burns suck because the skin is so thin there.
If you can, immerse it in room temperature (not cold) water. It'll feel so much better. You can also get a spray called Lanacane (I think) that will cool and numb the area until it heals.
Do not apply lotions or creams, as this locks in the heat and makes it worse.

How do you get rid of funky hair smell?
Butter
I am tired all the time, and can go to sleep on command during any time of day. Whats wrong with me?
Cold compress.
Then some commercial burn/sunburn/topical anaesthetic .
My mom was in the burn unit for a month. You have a first degree burn (red hot), second is blisters, and third is no skin left. Ice and these other things won't help. Put pain relief neosporin on it and gauze with tape. Change the dressing every eight hours or so. Slowly as the burn heals put lotion on it with aloe. It will take about a week and if the skin gets rough put more neosporin. Hope you feel better soon!
Is it really bad if you take over-the-counter medicine that's a few months past its expiration?
You have to run cool water over it to take out the heat, I was just reading this last night. And never put butter on a burn, it actually holds the heat in. It might be frustrating, but just keep running the cool water over the burn for several minutes. If you have some aloe vera gel that might help, especially if you chill it in the fridge for a bit before you apply it to the burn.
is it true that if you eat nothing but tomato soup for 7 days your skin turns orange?
BUTTER WILL NOT HELP. Butter has an oily base and it will only allow the skin underneath the 1st or 2nd layer to continue to burn.
Your arm is still burning because the 3rd, 4th, and 5th layers of skin are still 'burning'.
Ice will do the trick. On for 15 minutes, off for 15 minutes. Do this several times over the next couple of hours and you should notice a difference.
Take Motrin or Tylenol for the pain, it may help also.
You can also go to the drug store and get some burn cream which includes a local anesthetic to numb the skin.
Aloe will help too.
You can buy silvadene cream at the drug store which will aid in the healing of the burn. Ice is the way to go for now though.
Hope this helps.
In the winter I feel a little spark go through my fingers whenever I touch metal ie. door knobs?
Cold water; 100% pure honey; gauze, lightly wrapped so it can breath.
dab some toothpaste on it if the skin is not broken. the mint has a cooling affect this will ease the pain a bit. Aloe works great too and also helps with the healing
The best thing in the world is if you an aloe plant or a friend that will give you a piece of one. Just squeeze the juice on the burn area. Not only will it take the heat out of the burn but it is a great antiseptic to prevent infection.
Why does the shower wake you up, no matter how tired you are?
It sounds like a 1st degree burn, which isn't too serious.
Try cold water, ice or a cold pack. Keep the cold on for as long as you can stand it.
After that, rub on some aloe vera gel. Reapply it as needed.
Be sure to keep the area clean. Watch for infection & see a doctor quickly if any problems develop. But it should heal OK if you take care of it.
Good luck to you.
