With burns you need to stick them under cold water immediately for a long time.
I'm not sure what you'd need to do now. Go to the doc and get some skin cream I expect.
whats that?
If there's a break in the skin, you may need some antibiotics to stop the wound getting infected, which would slow healing and result in a worse scar and off colour.
The best thing to do is take a trip to your local swimming pool and have a swim as often as pos. THe chorine will heal the thing as quick as hell.
Don't worry about the piss and poo in there. I've only ever used a plaster once. Every thing else....chlorine job.
Wrong you never put put a burn under cold water you dampen/wet a towl. and put that on the burn.
Whoever told you that needs to be shot in the face.
All the way from the first aid manual of voluntary aid societies (Red Cross, St Johns Ambulance and St Andrews Ambulance Association)"Flood the injured part with cold water for at least ten minutes to stop the burning and relieve the pain. If water is not available, any cold, harmless liquid, such as milk or canned drinks, will do tbh.
at first it will be big and red and horrible, jus keep putting antiseptic cream on it whenever you can and keep it clean, dont put plasters or anything on it as the burn needs the air to help it heal, it will fade soon enough tho
Now she could, but immedeately after even the most stupid idiot would know that the cloth could stick to her skin, making everything worse and more painful.
Thats what i was thinking.
By now its probably irrelevant, but you can get some gel stuff that cools and stops the pain and swelling. Worked for me when i drbbled hot oil on my hand :rolleyes:
