Answers:
Peeling skin is a symptom of a 1st degree burn!. The tingly feeling is probably due to the skin healing!. There is no harm in putting the preferon stuff on it, but you might want to wait a few more days before you do that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Let it peel- that's part of the healing process the skin is regrowing!. If the prefer on helps you continue to use it I don't think it will hurt!. Just make sure to keep it clean and dry and you should be fine!. if you start seeing any signs of infection like tenderness, swelling, warm to the touch, ectera I advise you to see your doctor to keep it from getting worse!. Burn infections are nasty!. Good luck and feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

okay remember this: whenever you get a burn do not put anything on it for a few days , even burn cream because anything like that will only trap the heat in and make the burn hurt more and it can worsen!. if it looks better and there arent any black or very very dark spots then you should be okay!.

Let it peel - do NOT pull the scab off!.

I would wait until the burn is fully healed before putting on the Preferon cream!.

In the meantime, keep the burn clean and dry!. If it's itchy, put just plain Vaseline on it and try not to itch!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It will peel eventually by itself - do not peel it yourself!. Keep it from getting dirty as it might get infected!. The scar usually stays, unless it is on the palm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its peeling to give way for the new, healthy skin!. It all seems OK!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Let it peel, its just healing!.

it will be fine!.
