What do you know about burns?
#24
Wow - lots of interesting advice! Funny, I kept looking at the vinegar bottle, but I didn't try it - but I must've heard that before somewhere. It doesn't "burn" this morning, but is tender in the blistered/white areas. I need to hold a pen in just my fingertips, but at least I can write still. I'm assuming that it's 2nd deg - the blisters aren't raised though, just white w/red around. I think I'll live now! lol!
Thanks everybody - last night was interesting!
And now I will ALWAYS touch a container before I take it out of the microwave, just to make sure!!!

I always keep a bottle of lavender essential oil in the cupboard over my kitchen sink. Apply a drop or two--no more is needed--immediately to the burn. It is amazing how well and quickly this works. You don't want to over-apply the oil either.

Keep applying the ointment through out the day, then wrap lightly with gauze. Be sure to soak your hand at least once a day. If after finding and applying the aloe very gel the pain does not go away be sure to visit your doctor. Good luck with your healing process.

I try to avoid vaseline as it is a byproduct of crude oil. I would no more use motor oil on my skin than I would vaseline. After all, petroleum is not used to make jelly!
another choice is to use St. Johnswort flower oil, not essential oil.
