How to heal a burn??!?

Question

I just got a bowl of porridge out of the microwave and it was boiling hot. Now I've got a burn on my right thumb and it hurts! I have 2 type with 1 hand. Any quick way to heal it?

Answer 1

Keep it under cold water for at least 10 minutes. Then, cover wound using a clean pad or cling film to prevent infection. If you have any bracelets or jewellery, it's best to remove them as they can irritate the burn. Burn cream is also very good to use, and you could put it on skin before wrapping. Hope this helps :D :D :D

Answer 2

run it under cold water

put some aloe lotion on it

and suck it up for a day or two

dont put ice directly to the burn.. its not ok to do so.

put something cold on it right away. like ice

Answer 23

Hopefully you put it under a running tap when it happened? Just leave it alone now to heal. It's only superficial probably, so will do better by not putting anything on it. If it does blister, do not pop it, you'll increase the chances of getting it infected if you do and then you'll be stuck with it even longer!

Answer 24

Run it under the cold tap, until the sting goes away. But you might be there a bit :). Get some burn cream too cool it down.

Other than that i can't think of any other way to heal it. But the cream and water idea should ease the pain of it.

Hope i Helped :)
