Take a pain killer and a coolish bath.  Do you have Noxzema or even calamine lotion?  Perhaps a little baking soda/water paste will help.

Use Aloe vera gel, it comes in both Menthol and in regular. It will speed up the healing process and take away the burning sensation. To help ease the discomfort I would recommend using a lidocain spray such as "solarcaine" it's available in the same aisle as the aloe vera gel in most stores. You can also take acetominophen (Tylenol) if you are not allergic to it to help with the pain. - Hope you feel better soon and great question!- James

The best route is to call an exterminator. Unfortunately it may take multiple trips for the problem to be eradicated. \n\nIf cost is an issue, there are home methods that work, but you MUST be vigilant, as it may take some time.\n\n#1) Clean, clean, clean. Wash EVERYTHING with hot water. Steam clean the carpet. Steam clean the seams of your mattress. Look around your clock radio. They like to hide in cracks. Look along the baseboards of the room. \n\n#2) Buy some type of insecticide and follow the directions completely. Repeat as needed. \n\n#3) Clean again!\n\nYou can do this on your own, but be prepared for a battle that may last a few weeks. \n\nIf you have any questions, feel free to comment and I will do my best to answer. I work for a LARGE health department and help people with this problem almost every week.

I wish you had said how large the scraped area was. Motorcycle burns are treated as burns. This is going to take meticulous care to treat. You need to wash it 2-3 times a day with Ivory soap. Ivory has no perfumes or deodorants to irritate the area.  Let it air dry. If you have access to any Silvadene cream, place on burn after each wash. You can buy some sterile 4x4's at any store-I know Eckerd's  and CVS will have them for sure. You will need at least a whole box.  Buy some plastic or silk tape. Cover burn with sterile 4x4's and secure with tape. When you remove the dressing it will pull dried secetions off the wound. This will hurt but is necessary. This will also clean wound from build-up of crusties and prevent infection. Dressing must be kept clean and dry. No swimming, no lake, no reburning. No lotions of any type. If you are unable to obtain Silvadene cream, use Neosporin ointment.  If the area is larger than a biscuit, you might need to go to the ER. If you see any signs of infection such as red streaks going away from the wound, reddness surrounding the wound, pus or green drainage or if the drainage has a foul odor go to ER. If your burn is large, you may need a tetnus shot. If pain is too intense, you could go to ER. I say to ER but an Urgent Care facility could probably help you.

You might get some urethane. It's what they use to protect hardwood floors. You should be able to get it at Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, etc.

While I'm not really sure what you can do to prevent peeling, aloe vera is your best solution for sun burn.  Aloe vera calms the burn and stops the burn from progressing.  When you have a burn that is really bad, for a period of time you can continue to feel the "burn" as if it is going deeper.  Aloe vera will calm that feeling and stop the continued burn.  I would suggest an aloe vera after sun cooling gel.  It's usually green or blue and has a bit of a smell.  It will also be very "cold" when you apply it.  I have never had a whole lot of peeling and I always use this.  So maybe it will help you with that also!\n\nHope this helps!

I use Goo Gone and then just take a scraper and scrape it off.  Add some rubbing alcohol if that fails.

Try sprinkling baking soda on your carpet letting it sit for a while and then vacuuming it up.  Baking Soda is supposed to consume odors. Windex your walls, countertops and anything that will absorb the odor.  Also, there's a cleaner called KABOOM! in a purple and green spray bottle that is REALLY strong...it's used for cleaning bathrooms, showers and kitchens that you can spray to cover the smoke smell REALLY GOOD!!.  It sounds like any remedy is good at this point!  Good Luck and hope these work!

Yeah the vaseline is just going to make it a greasy burning butt. Try baking soda which nutralizes (can be applied dry or mixed w/ water as a paste. You may just have to ride it out. You sound like my husband, he gets the same problem w/ super spicy food, but I cant beleive you actually asked the entire Country that question! I'm still laughing, sorry.

Static electricity gets worse when it's dry... low humidity.  You can't do much about that outside, but you can always get a humidifier for your house. Use moisturizers on your skin, switch to cotton clothing, use dryer-sheets at the laundry, use a metal object (like a key) to touch metal things like doorknobs after shuffling along your rug.  Along those lines, pick up your feet when you walk so they're not sliding.  If no key is available, try grounding yourself by touching something like the wall before touching a metal object or a person (or pet!) Experiment with different shoes.  My leather boots are the worst!
