What is the best thing to use on a burn??


Question: I went to sleep with a heating pad on my back and have a small burn.
Answers: a aloe plant stem is the best it all natural the best ever plant to have in your home. butter is the worst thing it my seem to cool it at first then the pain will still be there.but aloe will sooth it and use it twice for the first day all there will be no scar either.
butter.ice
Anything with Aloe Vera in it.V. soothing and helps skin heal smoothly.
aloe
Bacitracin or Triple antibiotic ointment.
It will soothe the burn while covering it and providing antibiotic protection against infection.

Bandage it also.
when my sister burned her arm, my dad went outside and snapped off a piece of cold aloe vera to rub ont he burn.
aloe
Straight aloe vera from the plant. If you dont have the plant then from the bottle w/ no more than 10% alcohol in it. Not a good idea to fall asleep like that. You are lucky thats all you got.
Aloe Vera, A&D Ointment. Next time put a towel over the heating pad and set it low-medium. I would suggest putting it on high til you are about to go to sleep then shut it off. It will retain heat long enough and you will still feel it as you are drifting off.
Aloe vera plant juice. If you do not have a plant, then any product with a high amount of the juice will do. It stops the pain and allow the burn to heal faster.
its hard to believe and i didnt believe it till i burned the pads of my fingers a couple of weeks ago.....but i did this and it worked. i took a potato and i cut a nice quarter inch thick slice and i held it on the burns and it took the burning sensation totally away...its like holding it under cold water. the potato has to be uncooked...and im not sure what it does for healing if anything at all but its definately a pain reliever for burns. when it starts to wear off cut a new slice and it works again
ok, well i am going to assume its 1st degree if thats ture then somethign with aloe or just something cool, if it has blisters then you may want to use things like moleskin to prevent it from popping because there is actually a healing juice stuff inside teh blister...you dont want to open yourself for infection either

DO NOT use oil or butter as some would have you believe
