How do you treat a hot water burn at home? How to clean it after going to the doctor?

Answer 1

BURNS AND SCALDS

ALWAYS cool the area with cold running water before anything is applied.

Minor burn or scald - Apply neat Lavender oil directly onto the area, and if possible elevate to reduce blood flow. As the Lavender evapourates keep applying until the pain subsides.

If the burn is accompanied with shock - Bach Rescue Remedy, Australian Bush Flower Emergency Essence or Arnica 30 can be taken. If necessary seek medical advice or call the emergency services.

ALWAYS SEEK MEDICAL HELP FOR LARGE OR SERIOUS BURNS.

Answer 2

Cold compress. Is it blistering? A hot water burn is painful, but unless there is open blisters there is really not much a doctor will do, except give you Advil and maybe a prescription for a anti-biotic creme?

Answer 3

Keep it cold. Ice pack as much as the patient can stand, don't rub it after washing, pat dry with a dry towel. Try to avoid doing anything that might pull the skin much; ordinary movement should be ok though.

Answer 4

yikes. how bad is it? if there's no blistering, i'd just run it under cool (not cold) water, for a good five minutes, and, then, wrap it in a sterile bandage, if you've got one lying about. you could sterilise other cloth by boiling it, for ten minutes, or so, in water, but you seem to have a propensity for burning yourself, so maybe just get to the ER.

Answer 5

in home you can apply coconut oil / burnol on it . it will help
