Cost unrelated to : quality.  An SPF of at least 20, water repellent, and protective from UV A and B.  For scar treatment, see https://www.assh.org/handcare/procedures-and-treatment/scar-management

Question 9

my gf has really bad burns on her body which cream/tissue oil can be recommended to heal her?

Accepted Answer

Proceed cautiously: Before you do that, use HER palm sizes to help estimate the region of the burn. 1 palm is roughly 1% body surface area. If she is roughly in the 15% range or she has very high degree/deep burns, see a doctor immediately. She may need specialized treatment or admission to a burn unit.

Question 10

can i put bio oil inside my penis to cure burns?

Accepted Answer

: Do NOT do this! There is no such thing as a "burn" inside the penis. If you have pain on urination and/or ulcers (open sores) in the penis, it is likely to be herpes. Whatever the cause, this definitely needs professional attention. Improper treatment, including oils, could increase inflammation and result in scarring, with blockage of urine flow. See a doctor ASAP, preferably a urologist.
