How do u soothe a burn?

Question

i spilled a little boiled water on my fingers and it burns and doesn't seem to stop burning, is there something i can put on it to soothe the burn and make it feel better

Answer 1

If only a little boiled water is the cause, your burn is most likely a first-degree, or "superficial" burn. For any mild to moderate burns like yours, consider running cold (not freezing) or cool water over the burned area. Another choice is using an ice pack (wrap it with a barrier so it doesn't hurt the area), or just soaking the burned area in cool or cold water. Keep in mind that a burned area keeps burning until you cool it down. Butter and other remedies are not only not necessary, if the burn is more serious, they could cause infection and are hard to remove. If the burn keeps burning after the above steps, please contact your doctor.

Answer 7

put something cool on it.

Answer 8

We have an aloe vera plant and when we need it we just break off a part of it, it works so well. It's better than the stuff in a bottle.  

Answer 9

Don't put anything on it. Soak it in cold water (no ice) and wrap it in some gauze. The burning should go down and if it's a bad enough burn, there will be some blistering.  

Answer 10

Put the burns in cool water and keep it there until the pain goes away. DO NOT  PUT OINTMENT/ CREAM/ BUTTER or anything on the burn! It keep it from healing and is hard to get off. Once the pain has gone away, put a sterile gauze pad over it.

Answer 11

ice or milk.

Answer 12

I'm in Florida. I go to my yard. cut the Aloe Vera Cactus plant open and use this for cuts and burns.     Keep burn in cold water for several minutes.

Answer 13

Buy burn gel, it's usually in most first aid kits.

Or you can just get some aloe vera, that helps. Try and keep it cold, I've had this problem before, but don't worry it goes away in a couple of days.

Answer 14

put it under cold water or put it in a cup of ice.

Answer 15

put some noxema on it to take the sting out

Answer 16

I'm from Arizona and people get burnt all the time from the sun.

And what we usually do for a burn is we cut a piece of aloe vera from an aloe vera plant and put in the fridge for a lil bit til it cools.

Then we rub the gel like substance from the plant on our burn.

Keep doing this for a couple of days and ur burn won't be able to be seen or felt.

Sometimes it even heals within a day if ur lucky!

It works on all types of burns not just sunburns because the aloe vera plant has cooling and healing properties.

If u don't have any aloe vera plants around ur area then go to a drugstore.

Look for a gel that has lidocaine or methocaine or both.

It will say it has these anesthetics on the bottle and it will say FOR BURNS!!!

But the aloe vera works just as well maybe even better.

Hope u'll find what ur looking for!

Answer 17

If it is a first degree burn, then put a COOL not COLD compress on it and take some advil. Don't put lotions, creams, or anything else on it.
