How to treat my burn?!


Question: How to treat my burn.?
Yesterday I was baking and I had my oven mitts on, I was getting the tray out and it was a bit heavy and was about to slip so I put my wrists inwards and the side of my arm only touched it for about 2 seconds if that and now it is in a shape of a tear drop lol... it blistered up and today I accidently knocked it and it oozed everywhere, the skin is still folded over. It is kinda open, and I don't know what to do!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I have always found that a wet teabag placed on the burn will draw out the sting. This can be repeated should the sting return.

The burn should NOT be covered; it should be open to the air if you want it to heal faster, but first, rinse it with cool water and in the process smooth the folded-back skin back into its proper position.

If the burn is in a position where it will brush other clothing, etc. and reopen, spread a thin layer of first aid cream over it and then apply a gauze bandage. Do Not use a bandaid; you want the air to reach the burn.Health Question & Answer

If you think you can handle it the skin needs to be removed and you need to wrap it with some burn ointment for three days. Get someone else to do it for you if you can't. That is all the doctor is going to do. He will wash it and then cut the damaged skin off with some suitures.

Sterilize the scissors and don't cut yourself or poke yourself. If you think it is real serious have the doc do it. I do my own if they are not serious.Health Question & Answer

No, don't put plasters on burns. They need to have proper ventilation.
Wash it with cold water and apply any antibiotic cream or aloe-vera gel.
If you need to protect it from clothing, put a dry gauze bandage (not a plaster) over the burn. Health Question & Answer

put a plaster on to prevent infection, then you should let the skin harden after a few days by letting it open to the air once the broken skin has healed.
in future be sure to place your hand under running cold water for 15/20+ mins after a burn.
