Cold water first -- NO OIL OR BUTTER OR GREASE (this makes it worse). Then put aloe vera (straight from the plant, if possible) and be careful not to bandage it (if it sticks to a burn, you have an even larger problem).

The type of sunburn I refer to here is the type or level where tapping the victim on the shoulder is absolute agony or where your bedsheets hurt so much you cant sleep.Aloe vera in a bottle is fine but!!!!!Aloe vera in a plant,many of us have them.Cut two inches from the leaf ,slice down the middle and rub down gently on the burn in a straight line ,you will notice that you are still burning on both sides of the part you have just applied the aloe vera to but where you applied is pain free almost instantly.By doing one patch/line first it shows you,the disbeliever, how good it is.After you have done all the affected areas you can use P.A.B.A.(para amino benzoic acid)in tablet form.In England chemists dont seem to sell it but Holland & barrett do as will other health food outlets.I would take one tablet of paba for mild burn and if it doesnt go down in terms of pain I take more till it reduces to the point I can cope.My family have used this for 40 years without adverse effects.If in doubt ask the people in the health food shop,If you ask doctors about it they tend not to be pleased(my expreience but enlightenment is available free on the N.H.S.) because they havent prescribed it,please let me know it workedP.S. this is not a licence to burn ,if you allow your children to burn you are abusing them,sounds harsh but its true

burning occurs usually due to fire.,whereas scalding occurs due to hot liquids.

The types of reactions are endothermic and exothermic.Also there are the types like reversible and irreversible.And according to me there are four types of reactions:-\n1) Displacement Reactions\n2) Combination Reactions\n3) Decomposition Reactions  &\n4) Double Decomposition Reactions.

Depends on the severity of the burn. For a mild burn use just Aloe. If it a rather serious burn, I suggest ibuprofen and that you place wet tea bags on the burn for at least 30 minutes. Rinse gently with leuk warm water and then glaze with aloe. Wear cool loose clothing and do NOT bandage the burn!!!

Yes... I have dark skin as well... and it is harder to burn but we can... so sunscreen can help... but since you are already burned try putting some aloe on

yes, lack of lubrication can result in painful burns!!!

Sounds like you're preparing for a kitchen disaster this Thanksgiving.  If grease or boiling water, you are probably near cold water - like tap or faucet water.  DRENCH the burn area in cold water - hold it under the faucet, or the open end of a hose. - DON'T spray it!  Just flood it - and do this for a few minutes - not seconds.\n\nGet it under there immediately to stop the burn from penetrating through the skin any more than it has.  Don't just cool the surface.\n\n1st or second degree - gently pat dry. Third degree - top surface of skin is gone - seek medical help.  If it's an area larger than your hand, or if it's on the face or genitals - call 911.  Seriously.\n\nOtherwise, go IMMEDIATELY to the ER or a clinic.

Yes. It is caused by a bacterium, Clostridium tetani, that is introduce to the body by a break in the skin. Typical injuries are: puncture wounds, scrapes, lacerations, frostbite, surgery, crush wounds, abscesses, childbirth and IV drug use.

Assuming we are indeed talking about a "minor" burn: At the moment that it happens, you should immediately cool the place down by using plenty of cold water (e.g. keep the area under a running cold faucet for a minute or two) followed by a generous sprinkling of common table salt over the area.   Leave the salt on for ~ 5-10 minutes and them wash the salt off again under cold clean water.    Believe me this REALLY works, that is if you can get to it immediately.   Afterward, you can follow up by applying any good Aloe Vera based ointment or alike.    If time has passed and you have done nothing about the burn (like I indicated earlier) then things like watergel would be your best bet, if the area is not infected, that is.   If there is, however, any sign of infection, then you would need a good antibiotic cream and I would even recommend you see a doctor.   An infected wound is not something to take lightly, no matter how small it initially appears to be.

I believe the term is SHC or Spontaneous Human Combustion. And unfortunately its a myth. Yes people have been found burnt to death in circumstances where the bones have been turned to ash (which requires 2000deg Centigrade) whereas other parts of their bodies remain virtually intact. Seems highly improbable, doesn't it? \nWell, quite recent studies by "Fire Engineers" (People who study the reaction of fire in different circumstances.) have stated that this occurance though rare is actually scientifically quite possible when cirtain elements come together.\n\n1. You have to have a combustible material that will burn fast at a high temperature. (eg. perfume or other alcohol based substances)\n2. You have to have an element that will sustain this high degree combustion for over an extended time.(eg. certain types of fat_this also explains why the burns are contained in one area or do not move to others on a persons body.)\nAnd:\n3. You have to have a very unlucky accident. (eg.Getting to close to the fire, dropping a ciggarette on yourself....i.e. doing something close to fire that isn't supposed to be done......)\n\nThat's it. The people actually catch fire and burn very HOT very QUICKLY and the fire is CONTAINED IN A CERTAIN AREA.\n\nI hope that's been helpful.

Not sure what they actually called but its something along the lines of 'Hydroplast' they are  gel like plasters idea for burns.  I use them for any scrapes I have that weep i.e astroturf burns or blisters.  the idea is you place the 'hydro' plaster over the area and a gel forms over the affected area.  this keeps the wound moist and aids the healing.  Another name (if the wound is only small (a few centimetres across) a plaster going by the name of 'compead' is very good - (like small versions of the items I described above.  Both types offer protection from the friction of your shoe (in this case).  Anyway - ive rambled - go to a chemist (Boots if you live in the UK) and ask for hydro plaster suitible for burns - that'll be what your after

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).

There are many types exothermic or endothermic reactions.\n\n Exothermic reactions.\n1.Combustion reactions.(Except combustion of Nitrogen.)\n2.Combination reaction of anions & cations.(Ex-OH- + H+)\n3.Reaction of metals with non-metals.\n4.Some(1st) Electron affinity reactions(Expect elements of S2,P6,d10;Nitrogen)\n\n Endothermic reactions\n1.All the ionization reactions.\n2.Bond breaking reactions.\n3.Breaking into anions,cations.\n4.All the Sublimation,Vapuorization,Atomization reaction.\n5.(1st)Electron affinity reactions of S2,P6,d10 elements;Nitrogen\n6.All the 2nd,3rd electron affinity reactions \n\nSo,(a) is a exothermic  reaction\nAnd,(b) is also exothermic reaction

That should only happen with copper or copper salts.\nIt's the oxidation of the copper in the flame.\nAll elements burn differently, this is the basis of how a spectrometer works.

Types of Fires\nThere are four classes of fires, categorized according to the kind of material that is burning. For the first three classes of fires, there are two sets of color-coded icons in common use. One or both kinds of icons appear on most fire extinguishers to indicate the kinds of fire against which the unit is intended to be used. There is only one icon used to indicate the fourth (class D) kind of fire. Class D fires involve uncommon materials and occur in fairly specialized situations. Note that any given fire can fall into more than one class; a fire that involves both burning paper and kitchen grease would be a Class AB fire.\n\n  Class A fires are those fueled by materials that, when they burn, leave a residue in the form of ash, such as paper, wood, cloth, rubber, and certain plastics. \n  Class B fires involve flammable liquids and gasses, such as gasoline, paint thinner, kitchen grease, propane, and acetylene. \n  Fires that involve energized electrical wiring or equipment (motors, computers, panel boxes) are Class C fires. Note that if the electricity to the equipment is cut, a Class C fire becomes one of the other three types of fires. \n   Class D fires involve exotic metals, such as magnesium, sodium, titanium, and certain organometallic compounds such as alkyllithium and Grignard reagents
