the best way to keep it from scarring would have been to keep the skin on it if it was a blister....and you should just use cool water, not ice. Ice causes more damage to the skin...it doesn't help it heal because it causes too much constriction of the blood vessels... cover it with bandaids or something, use neosporin and mederma....

You should'nt peel it of at this moment since it's not properly heal yet.this can cause infection.Dapped some vitamin E cream on the burn spot.If you really wanna peel the dried skin off,wait a few weeks then it's up to you.Remember don't do this again if you had a similar burns in the future ok!..

You shouldn't have peeled the skin off! Take the ice off, dry it, and put some vitamin E or aloe on it. Do this every day.

do not pop the blisters (in the journey that they form any) and attempt holding them lined (obviously no longer gonna be able to hide the face) I extremely have 2 cigarette burns on my hand that were extremely deep burns (burnt through each and every of the exterior right down to the fat)and they have both scared now yet are not that undesirable (got here about a three hundred and sixty 5 days in the past now)

Don't need to put ice if it's not swollen. VITAMIN E OIL. Rub in as needed. The scar will disappear.

running cold water is best for burns and after the pain is gone I would get some aloe vera gel from a health food store to put on it

it depends what kind of burn it is.....if its a burn from fire (cigeret burn,Lighter burn) your screwed because ive got scars from 2 years ago on my hand & arm and there still there...for other burns put some burnt ointment on it...sorry it that didnt help alot
