  • Deep partial-thickness burns injure deeper skin layers and are white with red areas. These burns remain white when you press on them. The person may feel pressure but not pain. The skin looks spotted, may appear waxy in some areas, and is dry or slightly moist. Possible infection is an important concern with these burns. Deep-partial thickness burns are often caused by contact with hot oil, GREASE, soup, or microwaved liquids. (aka Second Degree Burns) Rinse: -Rinse burned skin with cool water until the pain stops. Usually rinsing will stop the pain in 15 to 30 minutes. The cool water lowers the skin temperature and stops the burn from becoming more serious. -You may: Place arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, or toes in a basin of cool water. -Apply cool compresses to burns on the face or body. -Do not use ice or ice water, which can cause tissue damage. -Take off any jewelry or clothing that could be in the way or that would become too tight if the skin swells. Clean: -Wash your hands before cleaning a burn. Do not touch the burn with your hands or anything dirty, because open blisters can easily be infected. -Do not break the blisters. -Clean the burn area with mild soap and water. Some of the burned skin might come off with washing. Pat the area dry with a clean cloth or gauze. -Put on an antibiotic ointment. Ointments such as Bacitracin, Polysporin, or Silvadene can be used. Do not put sprays or butter on burns, because this traps the heat inside the burn. Caution: Silvadene should not be used by pregnant women. Bandage: -If the burned skin or blisters have not broken open, a bandage may not be needed. If the unbroken blisters or burned skin is likely to become dirty or be irritated by clothing, apply a bandage. If the burned skin or blisters have broken open, a bandage is needed. -Apply a clean bandage when it gets wet or soiled to further help prevent infection. If a bandage is stuck to a burn, soak it in warm water to make the bandage easier to remove. If available, use a nonstick dressing. (there are many bandage products available. Be sure to read the product label for correct use). -Wrap the burn loosely to avoid putting pressure on the burned skin. -Do not tape a bandage so that it circles a hand, arm, or leg. This can cause swelling. Notes: If the burn is on a leg or arm, keep the limb raised as much as possible for the first 24 to 48 hours to decrease swelling. Move a burned leg or arm normally to keep the burned skin from healing too tightly, which can limit movement.
  • I have dedicated my life to finding ways to get the best out of home remedies. For small burns, for instance if you touch a hot pan or oven rack the quickest way to relieve the pain is use cold water but as soon as you remove the burned area from the water the pain will instantly return. So I conducted a study and I found that Chap Stick yes chap stick will relieve burns. Because Chap Stick contains lanolin a soothing ingredient that is found in most lotions given to you as a treatment for minor burns when you go to the ER. Chap Stick contains nearly the same amount of lanolin. Immediately apply Chap Stick to a minor burn and it will go away in about three to five minuets.
  • I got burned at work by deep fryer grease and my boss told me pour vinegar over it. I continuously pour it over the burn every couple of min for about 20 min and it worked. it took the heat out of the burn so it didn't sting anymore

  • who knows i was just frying chicken in grease and it exploded. I know have burn spots on my face. Fk grease and screw chicken. I dont know If I should goto the ER or just deal with it. I dont want scars on my face.
  • well i have been told so many things. i have heard piss and hot compress and luke warm water and aloe vera. the vera works great. it help my fiance out alot. i have been told not to pop the blister if one forms. its at higher risk of an infection if it does.
  • Aloe vera plants are good to keep around the house. For if you have this plant & you get burned. Take a leaf from this plant. And brake it open. Then place the liquid from it on the burn. If this is done right after the burn happens. Chances are the pain will be much less. It always worked good for me, as long as I put it on right after the burn, with no time lost in between......Good Luck..........Plus 5 for the question.....................M.C.S.
  • There are lots. I found a great site that has a lot of info on home remedies for burns. http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3595514
  • Ok....well, I burned the heck out of my fingers with hot bacon grease. I first ran cold water over it. BIG MISTAKE!!! The pain worsened when it wasn't under cold water. That just intensified the feeling cause the nerves are already damaged. I remembered an old home remedy of vinegar on a sunburn....I tried that and yes it did pull out some of the sting, I would say 80% better for a longer peiod of time. I did however have to dip my hand in the bowl of vinegar several times. Afterwards I applied Silvadene and that helped a lot.
  • I was actually reading this page after I burned the crap out of my hand with bacon grease....got under my ring....I looked everywhere in my house for anything everyone suggested, short of peeing on my hand I found some Heel Balm in the medicine cabinet. It contains 25% chemically synthesized urea.....that's right synthetic pee!! stuff worked like a charm...still burns a lil but not much and no blisters.
  • I have burned myself on a hot pan before or even on anything hot. All i have to do is put Mustard on it and it relieves the burn
  • Toothpaste works relly good to cool off the burn and pain. good luck +5
  • coconut oil will soothes the burn.
  • Making a paste of baking soda and cold water is a tried and true and safe remedy that brings some comfort.
  • I always just use ice and when it stops hurting apply A & D ointment.
  • 1st step: Run cold water, or ice it down immediately. Then wrap Ice in a towel or wash rag. Wet the outside of the rag and continue to hold it on the burn. This will help ease the pain tremendously. Periodically, make sure to remove it from the affected area. When doing this, you will also be able to tell the amount of pain reduction that you have. 2nd Step: If you have burn ointment, apply it. If you do not have any, the following if in your home, will help ease the pain as well as help the burn. ( Keep in mind if you have a splatter burn, or if it is over a large area, you may need to seek medical attention ) NOXEMA VASELINE ( Petroleum Jelly) Diaper Rash Cream ( With Zinc Oxide) A&D Ointment Neosporin Noxema: Yes, believe it or not, it does help. It will help take the pain out of the affected area as well. Vaseline is not as good at taking pain out of the area at first, but it eventually does. I have coated burns in this, then placed it back over the rag with ice in it. Makes a greasy mess, but works wonders. Basically, anything that you could use on a sunburn, or a burn on a baby's bottom, will work pretty well. But make sure to keep a close eye for any signs of infection, and if needed you may need to keep the area covered in gauze. Most importantly to avoid scarring, keep the area moist with the creams, etc. The bigger the burn the longer you keep it moist.
