I Just Burnt Myself?

Question

How do i stop it from hurting?????

Answer 1

Applying tooth paste to your burn also helps.
Put a glop on like glue and the pain will subside.
I'm not sure why but I guess the menthol has to do with the it.

I find this works better than cold water because you can't have the water running forever.

Anyway, many people don't believe me when I tell them this but I'm serious. This works.

Answer 2

Depends on what you burnt. I burned my hand a couple years ago and found that keeping it in a cup of ice water was the only relief. If it covers an area larger than your finger and starts to blister get to the DR. An infection can be very serious.

Answer 3

Aloe Vera plant is a two thousand year old remedy,,,but if you don't have any,Vitamen E,Brake open a capsule and put it on the burn.
Raw potato was a popular sollution among the Irish,who placed thin slices on thier burn,and keep changing the slices.
An easy home remedy is elevating the burn higher than you'r heart.
People in the middle east applied yogurt to the burn.
Rinse the burn and clean it off and then put honey on it.It will take the sting away.

Answer 4

First run it under tap water for about 2 minutes. Then put ice on it, but...

don't put straight ice on it - put the ice in a towel, then dampen the towel with tap water. Then apply that to the burn. Ice can burn (hence frostbite) so you have to temper it a bit. Sorry you got hurt.

DO NOT PUT BUTTER ON IT! That's an old wives tale and can actually make a burn worse.

They have first aid burn ointments at the drug store. When you've kept the ice on for about 10 minutes, if it still hurts, go buy some.

Answer 5

I do not know how bad the burn is so this is for small non deep burns..like from a skillet or grease

I run water warm/cool over it till it stops hurting
start with warm not hot water gradually cool to cold for a while works for me..plus put some Neosporen on it for burns cover with gauze ready to go it will hurt for a while until the skin cools down some
and take whatever you use for pain aspirin or whatever!

Answer 6

To treat a burn at home, apply cold water or compress immediately. The cold water eases the pain and reduces the amount of skin damage. Apply the cold for at least five minutes. You can keep cold on the burn for up to an hour to ease the pain, but don’t go longer than an hour because frostbite could occur. If pain subsists, use a pain reliever such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen (Tylenol).

If the burn has caused blisters, be careful to avoid breaking or puncturing them. Blisters often break on their own, and when they do, allow the overlying skin to remain on the blister. It acts as a wet dressing, keeping the new skin clean and protecting it as it toughens up.

Don’t use anesthetic creams or sprays; they may actually slow healing. Antibiotic creams, such as Bacitracin and Neosporin, neither help nor hinder healing. It’s best to keep the burn and blisters clean and allow them to heal on their own.

Answer 7

DONT put ice on it!it will be a blister later...
u cant stop the pain ,put anti burn creame on it to heal faster
and Dang dude! sorry u got burnt That sucks..

Answer 8

I'd say put snake oil on it but very few people actually have this, so just go to the fridge and get some margarine or butter and rub it in carefully.

Answer 9

Please, whatever you do, don't put butter on it - the oil seals the heat in and you can get a terrible scar. Aloe Vera gel is good, cold water, ice. You can put ice on and wrap it in an ace bandage so it stays on while you do other things.

Answer 10

Run cold water over it until it stops stinging, then put some burn cream on. If it's a really bad burn you should get medical help.
