Question: How to treat a minor burn on the skin
This afternoon i was baking Brownies, when i went to go get them out, i accident hit the top of my forearm against the actual oven!. - I was wearing a pot holder mit, however it hit it right where it stopped!.
I ran cool water over it as soon as i hit it, then i put some aloe vera on it, and after that dried, i rinsed it off again, and i put some neosporin on it!. From pictures that ive seen on the internet, i believe it might be a 2nd degree burn, not really sure, its about an inch in length and about a centimeter in width, its sort of a white or grey color!. Is there anything that i can do to make it heal better!? Thank you in advance!Www@Answer-Health@Com
