What is the best way to wrap a burn?
111550
first you should run your hand under cold water and then clean the wound.  If there are blisters, don't pop them.  Any first aid cream or burn cream will do (cream not ointment is best as it allows air to flow and is water based vs petroleum based.)  aloe works well if the skin isn't broken as does Honey  - yep that's what I said - Honey.  It has an anesthetic property to it and really does promote healing of burns (if the skin isn't broken)  If you have blisters its okay to use honey or aloe as well.  wrap you fingers with a non stick bandage and wrap them in gauze-  or you can use large fingertip band-aids if you have them available.  change the bandage every day for at least 3 days then you can let the fingers air...they should feel better by then.\n\nIf the skin is burned beyond blistering, you should see a doctor and get his advice.  3rd degree burns can get infected quite easily.  (there usually isn't any bleeding with a burn)

I assume we're talking about a minor burn and not a 3rd degree, right?\n\nCold running water for 10 minutes or until it stops hurting.\n\nI'm going to disagree with above poster about letting it "breathe".  If I were you, I'd keep anti-biotic cream on it and keep it bandaged.  Infection equals scaring.

sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol pop it if you can stand it pull back just a little of the skin and put some neosporin anti scar on it.. the anti scar works faster at repairing skin tissue and doesn't burn like liquid bandage

The only thing you can do is put ice on it or run cold water over it.I am a C.N.A. and they  say to definitly avoid sabs and lintamints.I know one old wives tale was to put butter on a burn but do not do that. Serioiusly. just run cold water over it or apply ice. Hope ya feel better.

OH CAN IT EVER. It's call blue-flaming or torqing. You lay on you back and throw your legs back over your head as far as you can. Hold a lighter (not a match) near the butt-opening. If you get too close you create some risk. Build up a doozy and let 'er rip while the lighter is going. You have to exhaust the whole thing, or else you risk bringing some of the fire back inside of you while your butt-opening is still, well, open. So push it all out. Some of the flames can get huge. Just watch out for the "banana torq". It wraps around and burns bad things.

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.

First Aid \nFOR MINOR BURNS:\n\nIf the skin is unbroken, run cool water over the area of the burn or soak it in a cool water bath (not ice water). Keep the area submerged for at least 5 minutes. A clean, cold, wet towel will also help reduce pain. \nCalm and reassure the person. \nAfter flushing or soaking, cover the burn with a dry, sterile bandage or clean dressing. \nProtect the burn from pressure and friction. \nOver-the-counter ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help relieve pain and swelling. DO NOT give children under 12 aspirin. Once the skin has cooled, moisturizing lotion also can help. \nMinor burns will usually heal without further treatment. However, if a second-degree burn covers an area more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, or if it is located on the hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks, or a major joint, treat the burn as a major burn. \nMake sure the person is up-to-date on tetanus immunization. \n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000030.htm\n\nPeople have typically treated burns with ice and oil. However, do not use these! Ice of ice water causes loss of body heat and further damages the skin and underlying tissues. Likewise, do not put oil, butter or ointments on blisters or deep burns because these items seal in the heat, do not relieve pain very well. Another do not: do not break open blisters because it makes the skin more prone to infection. \n\nhttp://www.zetatalk.com/health/theal04j.htm

The very first step is to stop the heat. Do this by submerging the burned area in cold water as fast as you can. If it is on a part of the body that you cannot submerge, then immediately pour cold water over the area several times or rinse the area under a faucet or shower. Remove any clothing that is covering the area, then poor some more water onto the burn. Be careful not to pull a still-hot shirt over the head as this may burn the face. Getting cold water onto the area as fast as possible is the single most important factor in minimizing the burn damage. \nDo not use ice. This can cause cold damage to the skin, which may make the burn worse. \nThe next step is to continue the cold water for at least 20 minutes. Submerging the burn is best, but if you cannot, then either run it under cold water or apply cold water-soaked washcloths repeatedly. \nDo not put any butter, grease, or powder on the burn. \n\nAFTER THE INITIAL 20 MINUTES OF COLD WATER, WHAT DO I DO NEXT?\nPain relief. Give yourself a dose of ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil). This will both help the pain and decrease the inflammation. \nAssess the burn. There are several degrees of burn. \nFirst degree burns. This is simply redness, with no blistering. This type of burn never leaves a scar if properly treated. \nSecond degree burns. This is redness with blistering of the skin and is usually the most painful type on burn. With proper treatment, this type of burn almost never leaves a scar. NEVER pop the blisters. \nThird degree burns. This occurs when many layers of skin are actually burned away. Usually there is no blister because all the top layers of skin are gone. This burn usually does leave a scar, even with proper treatment.\n\nFacial burns. These almost always warrant a call to your doctor right away, unless it involves a very small area, such as the size of a quarter or smaller. \n\nFirst degree burns. For this type of burn, you do not need any prescription cream. You also do not need to use an antibiotic cream. One of the best treatments is aloe vera. Buy a bottle of green 100% aloe gel and apply several times a day. Be sure to buy 100% aloe. Some bottles will say, "made with pure aloe", but only contain 10% aloe. Read the ingredients. It should basically only say aloe. You can also use the juice from the leaf of an aloe plant if you have one. \n\nSecond degree burns. Treating this type of burn is more complex. You should check with your doctor about how to treat your second-degree burns. Here are some general guidelines that we recommend. Twice a day do the following: \nRinse the area with comfortable temperature water. Use a sink or bathtub faucet. The stream of water will remove germs, dead skin, and debris. \nAir dry. \nApply prescription burn cream called Silvadene (the generic equivalent is silver sulfadiazine). This is an antibiotic cream that also has excellent healing properties. This is an important part of burn treatment because it is very effective at preventing infection. You need to apply it aseptically; buy a package of sterile tongue depressors to use. Use a lot of cream, as if you were icing a cake. When you change the bandage, if all the cream is worn off or soaked in, then you didn't use enough. Silvadene contains silver, and you will notice a dark "tarnish" discoloration on the bandages. \nCover with a bandage. Your doctor may recommend a specific type of bandage. Typically a non-stick pad is placed over the cream (one brand name is Telfa), than a gauze is taped or wrapped around the area. \nStretch. If the burn is on an area of the body that stretches or pulls a lot (such as the palm of the hand or palm side of the fingers), the burned skin is at risk of healing too tight. This is called a contracture. In this type of area, it is very important to stretch this skin around ten times a day for one minute. \nCut away the blister – after the blister pops on it's own. Your doctor may cut the dead blistered skin away

Pure aloe. Also any type of burn relief used for sunburn, it has lidocaine in it for the pain and will help it stay clean. You can cover it with a bandaid to ensure that it stays clean. Don't put butter on it, that just adds fuel to the fire, so to speak. Toothpaste also helps (just make sure it isn't cinnamon flavored. Sensodyne is the best to use for burns, bites, and the itching since it is for sensitive teeth).

the only thing that should be applied to a burn that is over the counter is aloe vera gel.\n\nif the burn is blistering then you'll need to get in to see your dr so he can give you silvadene. it's a special zinc-oxide based cream that helps protect the burn from infection but also allows it to breathe which helps it heal faster. it's only available by prescription\n\nwash the burn well with mild soap and cool water. apply the aloe vera gel (you can chill it in the fridge to help soothe the burn). don't cover it unless it's in a location where clothing will rub up against it-in this case, cover it with a small gauze square to prevent the aloe vera gel from rubbing off and to also prevent the clothing from irritating the burn itself.\n\nfor pain you can take ibuprofen. take 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.\n\nwatch the burn closely for the following things\n\n-increased redness or swelling\n-the burn opens and/or begins to drain liquid (pus)\n-you begin to run a fever of 101.0 or higher\n\nthese are signs that the burn is infected and you'll need antibiotics to treat it

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
