Put your arm under the cool water faucet and let the water run over your arm for about 10 minutes.
Then gently pat your arm dry and put Neosporin antibiotic ointment all over your arm. Then cover your arm in gauze to keep it clean.
You need to keep an eye on it to make sure it stays clean and doesn't get infected. It will probably blister but don't pop the blisters.
Take Tylenol for the pain.
Cold water, no creams. Even if you have no insurance if it is bad you need to see a Dr. Keep it clean and dry. If you have more than redness, like blisters you need to be seen.
Pain killers and rubbing butter on it.
Aquaphor 4 you can by it over the counter also keep it clean and dry.
keep the burn under cold water for 15 minutes. then every day put a damp cold cloth on it for about 5 minutes. it should heal properly. just don't pick at it and keep it covered at points but also let it breathe. use a medical bandage so cotton doesn't get stuck into it. use an antibiotic ointment if you have any!! make sure it keeps clean and use antibiotic soap to clean it with. Good luck!!
If you don't have a doctor (on the off chance that you do, GO TO HIM/HER) run it under some cool water and apply antibiotic (Neosporin, but if you're allergic to it don't use it). Then you can use some gauze to wrap up the wound. If it starts getting pinkish around the edges or swells, then it's infecting you you have to go to the hospital.
Put your arm under running cold water. Let it air dry. Do not bandage or cover with ointment at this point.
The advice about cool water is all good. The only ointment I would recommend is vit E. Slathered on a new burn it prevents pain and scars.
any burn i have ever gotten and I've had some doozies..i grab the egg and take the egg white and smear it all over the burn right away and it stops the bubbles from forming and let it dry on the burn and keep putting it on and it stops the pain also..really it works real good. I picked up a muffler from a lawn mower not knowing what it was and it hurt soooooo bad and my neighbor ran outside with a bowl of egg whites and soaked my fingers in it and kept applying it and it stopped the horrible pain and kept bubbles from forming. It also help to heal it without much or any scars hardly at all.
aloe vera is the best for burns! It is gentle and heals the skin naturally.
