I’ve moistutized it and wearing long-sleeves but I’ve never done that before so what can I expect in terms of healing time, process?
Edit: bought and applied contininy doses of Polysporin as pharm recommended until i can see my dr
Keep it under running water for ½ an hour, at the level that is the most comfortable.
Don’t make it too cold, but cold enough to ease the burning sensation.If the pain stops before ½ an hour, you can stop.
Add celery, onion and a potato.
Immediately after the burn, run it under cool-lukewarm water. Not cold, not hot. You may or may not get a blister. If you do, don’t pop it. Simply bandage it with nonstick wraps, the liquid in the blister helps your skin heal. If it pops treat it like an open wound. Aloe is good to use. It can sting like shit if the burn is too fresh, but does help after. Better yet is an aloe based burn gel. After initial healing, keep it moisturised as you said.
Not a doctor or medical person, but I am a very experienced fire performer and have tended to all sorts of burns.
Salve/creme/foam containing panthenol (in Europe it’s Bepanten, not sure about the US). This stuff does wonders helping your skin recover. Great thing against sunburns, will work with a usual burn as well
