Default What is the best treatment for a burn? - 12-17-2008, 02:29 AM

I burned my leg 2 days ago on a motorcycle. It just started to blister today. I have been using lidocane with aloe. I have never seen a burn blister days after the injury.

just keep doing that for a week and it will completely healby the fifth start peeling the scab off and the pinkish skin will start turning white. Try putting purifying water on it when the skin heals itself

You should have run cold water over it immediately to try to stem deep tissue damage.If it is a large area, deep, or looks infected, see a doctor.(Don't pick the scab. Scabs, like blisters, are there to protect the area underneath. Picking them can lead to infection and scarring. Leave them alone!)

Just keep it clean, washing with anti-bacterial soap and use the aloe. Lidocaine may help with the pain...Watch for infection such as red streaks spreading away from the wound. Make a mental note or put a slight ink mark around the edge of the burn to keep track of the size. If it grows larger, turns other colors besides scabbing then see a doctor immediately.

When it blisters, its second degree. You really should make an appointment with your doctor to make sure it doesn't get infected.

Keep it very cleanuse an antibiotic cream/first aid creamaloeand change the dressing three times a day. Pat it with sterile, clean water (boil then cool) if it gets ugly call your MD.You may need an antibiotic cream and or oral treatment.Take motrin for pain.

Vitamin E should work but you should but use the capsules and drain the oil straight on asap this will start the healing and avoid a nasty scar. Another option would be to use lavender pure essential oil it's great for healing blister's. Hope this helps x
