Answers:
That's a really painful spot to get a burn!! Try taking some tylenol and don't soak it in cold or hot water, keep it close to your bodys normal temperature!. Use burn creams found in most first aid kits!. If you get blistering, see a Doc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep cool water with a little vinegar added in it on the area until the burning stops!. The pain may last from four to six hours but continue using the compresses or soaking until you are relieved!. If the burn doesn't blister, Aloe Vera gel, fluoride toothpaste or any soothing medicated cream should help!. After 24 to 48 hours, if blistering has occurred, cut the blisters off and wash with povidone-iodine solution (Betadine)!. Coat during the day with either Betadine Cream or Neosporin, Honey, or Aloe Vera Gel, and at night apply the cream and cover area with a moist burn pad such as Second Skin which should be covered with a gauze pad!. These water-impregnated bandages enhance burn healing!.


Brush burns and scrapes can be treated in the same fashion but initially, use cool water compresses without any vinegar, since vinegar will sting and cause burning to an open wound!. (Cool water compresses cause stinging on a brush burn anyway, because a fresh scrape is very sensitive!.) Use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to disinfect and clean the area before applying the compresses!. Continue to use the peroxide every hour or so to clean and disinfect and compress with the cool water afterwards until the burning stops!. You can then treat it as a burn with the other recommendation!. The area should be washed twice daily and any white, scabby material should be removed each time!. Using the Perosice as an antiseptic before applying the burn cream is very beneficial!. The burn should be raw after every washing!. Rubbing the area rather than patting dry, although somewhat painful, will achieve this!. (Sivadene Creme is still a prescription, at time of printing, but is very effective for pain and to promote healing!.)

[Note: Honey has been used as a cure for burns since it was recommended by Aristotle!. Honey retains heat, so the burn must first be cooled with cold running water or ice cubes, then honey applied to the burned area!. Raw honey contains antibiotics, and promotes healing of burns leaving very few scars!. Not that long ago, East Bloc medics used raw honey for burns and blisters on soldiers in the field!.

first get a bucket of water and fill it up the take all the ice cubes in the frezzer and pour it into the bucket!. let it sit for 15-20 minutes then call a neighbor if its still very nasty and have them drive you to the hospital if its not that bad call your doc and ask wat you shoudl do to help it!. if its not too serious ice it for the 20 minutes the clean itwith disinfectant then banage it and try to stay off it for the rest of the day and sleep with and ice pakc onf your footWww@Answer-Health@Com
