Is olive oil good for the treatment of burns on the skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: Anything oily or greasy is good for burns. Usually vaseline or Aquaphor. Membranes such as Bioclusive can be very useful because they keep the juices in, functioning as an artificial skin. Vitamins and herbals are useful only to the extent that they are greasy.
