Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Ok, I'm a little embarrassed by this but I burned my tummy (just a little bit above my navel) while taking a hot cookie sheet out of the oven. I was in the middle of a conversation with my hubby and not paying attention. I did this on 12/23. It's about 3 inches long and it blistered immediately. It's now finally starting to heal but still has scabbing. I'm afraid it's going to leave quite a nasty scar. It really itches right now too. Can anyone recommend something to help the healing and also, once healed...any recommendations on how to minimize the scar? Thank you, Diane M.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I used a wonderful remedy about 11 years ago when I burned my skin with hot water. I had 1st & 2nd degree burns with half of it 3rd degree burn. A good friend made me a poultice of Aloe vera from the plant itself..not juice, vitamin E capsule, honey, comfrey root powder and mixed them all together. He spread them over the burn which was the size about a dollar bill. As it hardened it formed a protective shell over the burn allowing the skin cells to re-seed themselves. He told me this would reduce the scarring. As it was so painful, I initially didn't give it time enough to completely heal my leg, but the time I did made a difference in the size of the scar. I gave up and went to the dr. where he stripped the burnt skin off....it had not broken open yet! Salved it up and wrapped it in gauze...which created more pain! I immediately went back to my friends ointment and left it there till it fell off on its own. Had I not done that I was looking at a skin graft. It took months to heal. The scar is now a little bigger than a golf ball around and barely visible. I keep comfrey ointment around to mix with aloe for burns and other injuries.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I am not a doctor, but I would recommend applying raw honey and then covering. Once the skin has healed massage with almond oil to help prevent scarring.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Definately aloe vera for burns. They even use it in the burns units in hospitals. Make sure you use the real plant, not aloe vera in a bottle. You won't get scarring if you use on a regular basis.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Diane, I was in a minor car accident about two years ago where the air bags deployed and left nasty rug type burns on both of my wrists and lower arms. The Drs. and others said it would scar really badly. I took my friend's advice and used Mary Kay's Night Solution on the burns. I don't have any scaring and just a slight pink area on one wrist. But, my normal skin coloring is quite pink so it's not noticeable. I was so impressed I became a Mary Kay rep. I have used the Night Solution on other burns since with great results. If you would like more information please email me. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 CS--colloidal silver--for burns. Always keep a bottle handy for burns. When one of our cats was only a few months old he tried to jump up on the stove as my husband was cooking. He pulled a skillet down and splashed hot oil all down both sides of his rear and tail. The poor little guy was just burnt from the top of his hips all the way down to both back ankles, and the end of his tail. I immediately ran cold water over him and applied fresh aloe. The burns didn't blister because it went right down through the skin and just burnt the skin off! He just laid for days and I know that was uncomfortable for him because both sides were burnt, so no matter which side he laid on his weight was on burns. I also know how much it hurt him when I applied the aloe--though he didn't cry--outside of when he first got burnt, he never cried. But my having to actually touch the burns made it so painful for him. We had to carry him to his food and water and liter pan, as he couldn't get up. It was slowly healing, but taking so long to see any type of improvement. About 4 days into having to man-handle him for the aloe I smacked my hand to my forehead!! What a doofus I was being, not remembering CS spray. At that time I didn't have a CS maker, so I ran down to the health food store and bought a $20 bottle of spray. From the first spray of CS I knew he felt better, as we didn't have to touch the burns to apply it. And, it was like a miracle--within TWO days I could see improvement in the burns!! Every day, every single day right before my eyes, the burn area shrunk, replaced by new pink skin! It was amazing. Within 2 weeks he was entirely healed. His hair never grew back over the burn area, and he still has 2 slim streaks of plain, pink, healthy skin that you can see on his hips but the recovery time for those terrible burns was simply fantastic. I immediately bought a CS maker of my own and would never be without CS again. Even though I was always a firm believer in aloe Vera for burns, it cannot hold a candle to CS. For the scars you might try putting vit. E on it a few times a day, or olive or coconut oil. All will help.
