How do I make a 1st/2nd degree burn heal quickly?!
Question: How do I make a 1st/2nd degree burn heal quickly.?
I have patches of raw/blistered skin. Should I buy aloe vera cream or use some other ointment.? Ice or no ice.? Should I let it dry out and scab off or should I keep it moist with ointments so that it heals without scabs.?
How do I prevent scarring.?
Any suggestions.?

"Basic first aid treatment for burns: Cool water is helpful to ease the pain, as well as Aloe Vera gel or Aloe directly from the plant can be used on partial-thickness burns, which has been shown to ease the pain. NEVER put ice on a burn as ice is a vasoconstrictor and burns do need blood flow. Wet cool compresses are helpful in alleviating pain. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin) are generally good pain reducers."

Aloe works very well. Put some on a band aid and put it on the burn. If nothing else it will feel better.Health Question & Answer
