I hold a burn what can you suggest?
I dropped the straightners on my thigh and obviously burnt it.. and its taken some of my sunburn off as i have simply came back from egypt.. Im completly gutted.. but i dnt want it to mark how do you stop a burn from scarring? thanks for any sensible answers
Answer: Straight away you should put ice surrounded by cling film (or kitchen towel ..etc) and hold it on it.
I used to work in a kitchen and enjoy burns all the time - using ice I own managed to avoid 'som'; from not scarring at all.
If you receive it early enough you can stop it blistering. If a burn blisters, its probable to break and when that happens its scabs and heals, after hello, theres your scar.
Cold water is devout as well, but ice on it for as long as you can stand (15 mins should be good) AS SOON as it happen has always worked for me.
At worse, the rime will limit the size and colour of the scar tissue - hope this help. Avoid creams, your skin needs to breathe.
