Easy Household Solutions On How To Make A Burn Heal Faster

By Eric Morris


Nobody enjoys getting burnt, whether it is from getting cookies out of the oven without wearing gloves or from a spilt hot beverage. Sadly, burns account for most household injuries. If you want to learn how to make a burn heal faster, the following home remedies should do just fine.

Before you proceed, it would be beneficial to know how to differentiate the different types of burns so as to know what type of action to take. A burn classified as being in the third or fourth degree penetrates every skin layer and is regarded as a medical emergency. A second or first degree one is easy to treat at home as it only scalds the outer replaceable skin layer.

Pouring cool water over the burnt area is always the first action that medical practitioners advise. Using running water from a faucet always produces the best results. This should be done for 20 minutes before applying soap to lubricate the area.

Using a wet cloth is also effective at promoting quick skin regeneration and reducing pain. If the area is swollen, the wet cloth may also prevent the swelling from proceeding further. It is advisable to use this treatment in intervals of between five and fifteen minutes. Using an ice pack instead of water may irritate the skin, so avoid it by all means.

Its cosmetic benefits aside, Aloe Vera is also renowned for other advantages. For one, it is a natural scald healer. Its primary compounds assist in circulating air within the skin and prevent inflammation. The plant also fights bacteria thanks to its antibiotic properties. Its leaves contain the gel that you need for this purpose, so all you should do is extract it.

You may also use an alcohol based antibiotic to kill any germs that may have infected your scald. This may hurt a lot, but it is worth knowing that an infection will not develop in the area. Kitchen products such as vinegar have mild antibiotic compounds that can be useful to this effect.

Honey is a great healing compound too. Many people use it to treat mild stomach upsets and sore throats. It is also good for mild burns. It has compounds that help prevent inflammation and fungal growth. Just apply it topically and you will get better within a short time.

Many scald victims tend to burst their blisters on impulse. This is a discouraged habit as doing so may expose the underlying tissue to infections. In case you have an impulsive urge to burst them, it would be wise to book an appointment with your doctor so he can look at it professionally.

You may not necessarily experience immediate pain relief once you apply these remedies. However, ordinary painkillers should help you feel less pain. Examples of good ones are ibuprofen and naproxen.

If you do not notice a change of symptoms, chances are your scald is worse than what you had anticipated. Third degree burns often manifest symptoms such as leathered texture of the skin and whitening. Ascertain your symptoms before using home remedies.
