Burn Treatment: Best Home Remedies

Burn Treatment

Treating a burn can be a little tough sometimes. Especially when burn treatmentyou’re looking for the most cost-effective and least painful way to treat it at home. Medical News Today recently published an article about home remedies for burns. I have posted the main points in this blog post.

Burns are classified according to the severity. Scalds are burns caused by a hot liquid and are rated in the same way. Doctors often describe burns in terms of degree.

There are four typical degrees used to describe burns. These degrees are:

  • First degree: the least severe burn, which affects only the outer layer of skin.
  • Second degree: the second-least severe burn, which affects deeper layers of skin.
  • Third degree: second-most severe burn, which affects all layers of the skin.
  • Fourth degree: the most severe burn, which causes damage to bones and joints.

There are many potential home remedies for burns to try. Unfortunately, some suggested remedies are not effective and can potentially cause the burn to get worse.

  1. Running the burn under cool water

Running cool water over the burn for about 20 minutes will cool the skin down. This remedy does two things. It reduces or removes the pain from the burn. It also stops the burn from getting worse and affecting deeper levels of the skin

2. Clean the burn

Cleaning the burn will help prevent infection, which can complicate the healing of the burn and require medical attention.

3. Bandages

It is important to wrap the burn loosely and not apply sticky bandages directly on the wound itself.

4. Antibiotics

When a burn has open blisters, a person may want to use antibiotic creams and ointments. Antibiotic creams may help prevent the wound from getting infected and help the burn heal faster.

5. Over-the-counter pain medications

6. Stay out of the sun

7. Aloe vera
