My son has 3rd degree burns on face an is blistered pretty good.we applied burn cream on but inorder to clean an reapply how do u get the cream off without peeling skin an poppin blisters.

There are various proprietary creams containing a mild local anaesthetic that could be used sparingly around the burn site and might help a little. Ibuprofen or paracetamol could also take some of the sting out of the situation and possibly help reduce the swelling.
There are also available spray-on burn dressings. Try asking your local pharmacist.

The best short-term treatment for a burn is cold - ice water or similar. If that isn't convenient a cold compress can be applied.

People who do work that often leads to burns or scalds learn very quickly to jump for something cold as soon as they feel the pain, even if it is only touching the burn site against some cold metal.
The quicker something cold is applied to a burn the less tissue damage will be caused, the less pain will be felt, the quicker the pain will go and the quicker the healing process will be.

Really I'd get it checked out to make sure it is ok. It may just be that the damage to nerves in the burn is getting confused with feeling problems elsewhere OR that there is swelling pressing on the nerve. In the mean time cover the wound with a burns dressing/ cling film; if it's not fully cool then put it on under a running cold tap for at least 10mins or it has cooled, whichever is the longest. If it is still warm I wouldn't use any cream on it or that will cause the burn to worsen as the cream will start to burn on it.

Is there any pain in the burn itself or just around it? If it isn't and it is then it's likely a full thickness (3rd degree) burn and if these are bigger than the thickness of 2 fingers next to each other. If it isn't and blistering and painful then it's likely a 2nd degree (partial thickness) burn and if these ar bigger than 3 fingers pt together then you also need to get it checked out. These can get checked out at an A&E or see a doctor tomorrow; if you ring your doctors this evening then on the answer phone then they will tell you how to get in touch with an out of hours doctor who could then take a look at it.

I would ask a dermatologist for that answer.

No. no no and no. Flour will temporarily stop bleeding but should NEVER be used on a burn. Mild burns should be held under cold running water for a few seconds. carefully dried and sap from an aloe vera plant. Then covered to keep out air and germs. Blistered burns should always be covered with a clean cloth and medical dought . And never puncture a blister. It helps to keep the wound clean. Cover it ligtly and seek medical aid.o

Treating a burn is really dependant on the type of burn, but there really is no definitive answer to the long term self treatment of a burn aside from allowing the body to recover. All burns are best treated initially by running cold water directly over the burn site for 10-20 minutes (never use ice or cold packs on a burn it can damage the skin and prolong healing). The injury should then be kept clean and dry without any use of ointments or other topicals as this will retard healing.

Some proven initial home remedies (sometimes labeled as "voodoo," but you be the judge): household bleach applied directly to a minor burn and rinsed off with cold water will cool the skin and relieve the pain immediately, lavender oil or aloe vera gel applied to a minor burn will cool and relieve pain.

As in all injury situations it is best to seek the advice of emergency and/or trained medical personnel for proper treatment and recovery.

it's good that you're asking as some basic sensible first aid advice can make a difference to how burns heal.

Before you treat burns you need to figure out the severity; whether they are first, second or third degree burns. This will depend on the extent of the tissue damage.

First degree burns are superficial and don't blister. The burn may be red and swollen. Run the affected area under cool water and you can put some silver sulphadiazine on it to help the healing.

Second degree burns may turn white on touch and blisters may develop. The burns extend to the middle skin layer. To treat; gently clean and dry the area. Apply antibiotic cream and seek medical treatment immediately.

Third degree burns damage all 3 skin layers and can be very dangerous and even life threatening if they affect over 90% of the body. Treatment involves immediate medical care, fluids will be needed to deal with dehydration and possibly oxygen.

Over-exposure to tanning beds for too long can cause burns, especially in sensitive skin. Aloe Vera is great for skin burns. It works as an anti-inflammatory and sooths the pain as well. Cold compresses can also help soothe.

If the burn is really bad or looks like it might be infected, you should go to your doctor immediately.

What is the use Lumaglo cream

I have no fix for you but my Sanyo HP700 burnt my leg and now it is infected!!! had to go to the doctor and have antibiotics and cream.
