I have worked in urgent cares for many years. When it is first burnt you only put siladene on it and nothing else.\n\nYou say it is dry which means it is healing. At this time I would treat the pain with an over the counter pain reliever and do not allow her to pick at the scab. Things like neosporine and the like can prevent the wound from healing properly.

Put band-aids on your heals at the first sight of a blister...\nAlso keeps it from burning....

Try putting baby powder under your arm and make sure to keep it cool and dry...the more sweat the worst it will get.

Hello:\nThis is in response to the question you posted on yahoo concerning the injury to your fingers. It sounds like you sustained what is called an "abrasion" which is simply a scrape over the skin where the top layer of skin is sheered off. It is very common and rarely will get infected unless you get it really dirty. What I would suggest is wash the area with warm soapy water, pat it dry with a paper towel and apply something like neosporin or triple antiobiotic cream, both of which you can purchase over the counter at your local drug store. Repeat this 2-3 times per day, and within a few days a nice scab will form over the traumatized area. Dont pick at the scab though. Let it fall off on its own. There is a very slim chance of an infection, but signs of an infection include warmth, redness around the area, streaking redness up your arm, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and a change in your mental awareness.\nI hope this answered your question and alleviated some of the concerns you had.\nBest regards,\nWarren Shaffer, M.D.

my daughter had a bad burn on her arm- that blistered and peeled. After she healed up, we used mederma to help get rid of the scar. It worked. As far as helping the healing, the doctor should be giving him something for that. I don't remember the name, but it is a small dark blue jar, the cream was whitish/silver in color. It took the burn pain away and helped to heal it faster.

You can just use windex or even water and tissue or a damp cloth.\n\nIts okay, you wont damage it.

put a heating pad on it, or use icy hot.

If you are willing to do it, buy some ginger root cut it up and smash it with a heavy pan, tie it up in cheese cloth or a clean rag. Put it in a pot of water and let it heat up, just when you see bubbles form like its about to boil turn the stove off, you don't want it to boil. Then take two clean rags leave one dry and dip the other into the water. Place the hot rag over the dry one so you can still feel the heat from the rag but not on your naked skin.Keep doing that till you get relief

You can go to a doc.  and have it either frozen off or burned off.  In either case, that will hurt like hell at first, be uncomforatable for awhile, then feel better later.

When I was a little girl I used to get boils often. My mother would get a washcloth and soak it in very hot water then cover the boil. She would do that several times. That seemed to make it go away. It would shrink under the heat.

Keep it clean, and dry, and don't put any "old wives" remedies on it (butter, oil, etc). These actually hurt the burn by holding in the heat, thus causing a more severe burn. I'd cover it gently with non stick gauze, and wrap it with a gauze roll (but not too tightly).\nDon't pop the blister; hopefully it will reabsorb. \nIf I were you, I'd go to the doctor's and get checked out, I don't know exactly where the burns are on your hands, but hand burns can be expecially dangerous. There's the issue of scar tissue when it heals, and it's a bad place to get an infection. I've taken people to the hospital for burns like that; it's nothing to take lightly.\nHope you feel better soon...

I would try something natural like aloe vera after washing with soap and water; and if she is old enough (you didn't mention age), tylenol for the pain.  Watch the site for signs of infection; reddness, pain, tenderness or drainage. Also a small ice pack wrapped in a cloth to prevent skin burn will help.  A hug always helps too.

Massage it gently and pour oil. If worsen, apply firt aid and consult the nearest hospital.

First run cold water over it or put ice on. This will numb it a bit. then you can put some numbing cream or gel on if you want maximum releif. You can also put on the gel that goes on sunburns. That works really well.

You'd better nip it in the bud,before someones greasy mitts start fishin about and try to skin it alive.Make sure it's chipped right under the skin and keep both eyes peeled cos if you make a hash of it you'll go to pieces.If you stop telling everyone and watch you peas and Qs it could turn out to be your bread and butter.Good luck.(Not wanting to rub salt in the wound they don't last long,any day now it could croquette).
