Question 2

3rd degree burn: Protect the burn areas from infection, drying out, contractures and help with rehab when it's at an appropriate point . Once healed and scarred, it can be reconstructed (more difficult if there's a keloid tendency).

Question 4

do waxing burns fade?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Waxing burns are usually superficial and tend to fade with time.  If needed, you can use an over-the-counter or prescription fading cream that contains hydroquinone as its active ingredient.  Be sure to use sunscreen also, as sun makes dark marks darker.  If you are using a retinoid (prescription) or retinol, be sure to stop it at least 3 days before waxing or request hard wax to prevent burns.

Question 5

when i douch it burns why?

Accepted Answer

Irritation: Burning is a sign of irritation of the vagina. There may be an irritant in the  douch solution. The vaginal lining may be irritated from intercourse.  Candida overgrowth in the vagina or bacterial overgrowth may irritate the vaginal wall. Baking soda in water would generally be non-irritating.

Question 6

what are corneal flash burns?

Accepted Answer

Welder's burns: These are ultraviolet light 'sunburns' of the cornea which all welder's know about.  The pain of them starts 4-8 hours after exposure and can be quite severe but usually is gone within 24 hours as new corneal cells regenerate.  This is why welder's wear those protective filtering masks.

Question 7

will iodine help minor burns?

Accepted Answer

No: Iodine may help to clean skin before procedures. Applying iodine to a burnt skin will cause quick absorption and will only cause toxicity and irritation if it's alcohol based or even non-alcohol based preparation. I would not apply it. Use tap water (warm) to clean it up.

Question 8

can neosporin be put on burns?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A mainstay of burn treatment is application of antimicrobial ointment (e.g., neosporin, polysporin, (bacitracin and polymyxin) bacitracin, triple-antibiotic ointment) or cream (e.g., silvadene) to the wound.

Question 9

how can you treat burns on face?

Accepted Answer

Simple treatment: A burn is a response of the tissues to injury from heat or chemicals. It is simply inflammation which means increase blood flow to the area to promote healing. Do not use ice as this can injure already injured skin. Cool water soaks can help as can taking anti-inflammation medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen). Avoid any further damage as this can cause scarring . Good skin cream applied daily will help.

Question 10

how can you treat chemical burns?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Treatment of chemical burns will depend on the type of chemical one is exposed to.  In a workplace environment, osha requires that a msds (material safety data sheet) be onsite.  The msds will have treatment recommendations for that particular chemical. Also bring a copy of the msds to the emergency room or doctors office. Best to see a doctor for any burns.
