Home treatment for minor burnsFor home treatment of first-degree burns and sunburns: Use cool cloths on burned areas.Take frequent cool showers or baths.Apply soothing lotions that contain aloe vera to burned areas to relieve pain and swelling. Applying 0.5% hydrocortisone cream to the burned area also may help. You may be able to treat second-degree burns at home. First-degree burns and minor second-degree burns can be painful. Try the following to help relieve your pain:Medicine you can buy without a prescription Try a nonprescription medicine to help treat your fever or pain:Acetaminophen, such as TylenolNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Ibuprofen, such as Advil or MotrinNaproxen, such as Aleve or NaprosynAspirin (also a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), such as Bayer or BufferinTalk to your child?s doctor before switching back and forth between doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen. When you switch between two medicines, there is a chance your child will get too much medicine. Safety tips Be sure to follow these safety tips when you use a nonprescription medicine:Carefully read and follow all directions on the medicine bottle and box.Do not take more than the recommended dose.Do not take a medicine if you have had an allergic reaction to it in the past.If you have been told to avoid a medicine, call your doctor before you take it.If you are or could be pregnant, do not take any medicine other than acetaminophen unless your doctor has told you to.Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than age 20 unless your doctor tells you to.LotionsSome doctors suggest using skin lotions, such as Vaseline Intensive Care or Lubriderm, on first-degree burns or second-degree burns that have unbroken healing skin. These skin lotions can be used to relieve itching but should not be used if the burns have fluid weeping from them or have fresh scabs. An antihistamine, such as Benadryl or Chlor-Trimeton, can also help stop the itching. Read and follow any warning on the label.When a first-degree burn or minor second-degree burn is 2 to 3 days old, using the juice from an aloe leaf can help the burn heal and feel better. Applying the aloe juice may sting at first contact.It is important to protect a burn while it is healing. Newly healed burns can be sensitive to temperature. Healing burns need to be protected from the cold, because the burned area is more likely to develop frostbite.A newly burned area can sunburn easily. Sunscreen with a high sun protective factor (SPF at least 30) should be used for the first year after a burn to protect the new skin. 4951

Run it under cool water, or submerged it in cool water, for about ten minutes. Pat it dry and then loosely cover it with a gauze bandage. DO NOT put ice or ointment on it if it is a second degree burn, (blistering, peeling skin). 4951

I'm a big baby when it comes to burns. Mostly because I'm mad at myself for letting it happen. It's not like I didn't know the oven door was hot.  I'm gonna do some of the burn stuff y'all suggested and hopefully it won't keep me awake tonight.  4951
