What is the best treatment for skin burns?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Many: We rate burns; 1st degree is a sunburn;try aloe 2nd degree is a blister: leave it covered, don't break the blister, and some otc antibiotic cream/ointment is O.K.;rx silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) is better. 3rd degree is burned thru the skin and must be seen by a dr.Many ramifications.
