i burn my arm with the oven :(

Answer 1

If you have an Aloe Vera plant use that, otherwise, just put ice on it. That will take away the pain.

Answer 2

Contact a local burn center to verify the correct answer....however - DO NOT PUT ICE ON A BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Immediate care in case of all burns is necessary. Generally:

1) Cool the burn with tepid to cool (NOT COLD) water regardless of the severity of the burn. Even if it is a 1st degree, you need to bring the temp down but not with COLD WATER OR ICE!!!! Flush the area for about 10 minutes and do not put ointments, butter, toothpaste, ICE, or any other home remedies! Remove any clothing, garments, or jewlery in the burn area to reduce contact with hot items.

2) Cover the burned area with a clean and dry cloth, towel, blanket, etc.... to protect the burn and reduce pain.

3) If the burn area, regardless of size is larger than about 1% of the victim's surface area (about the size of the palm of the hand) seek medical attention, more so in the case of children and seniors.

4) Keep all blisters intact

5) If it is a chemical burn, run the water for longer - about 20 minutes. If the chemical is a powder, brush away the powder before running under water.


Here is a more general guide form a burn center on when to seek care from a specialized burn care facility:

Partial thickness (2°) burns > 10% TBSA (total body surface area - about 1 whole arm, side of 1 leg, whole chest, whole abdomen, upper back, lower back)

Full thickness (3°) burns, in any age group

Burns to the face, hands, feet, genitalia or major joints

Electrical, Chemical or Inhalation burns

Patients with pre-existing medical disorders compromising outcome

Patients with burns and concomitant trauma.Follow local regional medical control and triage protocols

Patients requiring extensive social, emotional or long-term rehabilitation support

Pediatric burns without qualified personnel or equipment

Answer 3

In the case where you just got burned, I have had excellent success with applying ice directly on the burn as quickly as possible. If the burn is an older one one where there is a scar, then liquid vitamin E applied to the scar will help to shrink the size of the scar.

Answer 4

Depends on the degree of the burn. If it's something minor, my grandmother would run it under cold water for a minute or two. Then she use an ointment targeting burns and lightly wrap it up.

Answer 5

Apply Aloevera's Jelly or Tomoto Juice or Toothpaste immidiatly after burning,

Answer 6

Toothpaste is really good. I dont know why but paramedics keep it in ambulances too for burn victims...it also reduces scarring.

Answer 7

ice pack. do not apply directly to the skin though. use for ten minutes or so several times a day.

Answer 8

aloe and vitamin E lotion
