I like Biafine: I am a big fan of using biafine emulsion for burns. The best way to use it is to apply it like spreading cream cheese over a bagel. Spread it thinly but thick enough so that you can't see the skin beneath. Then apply Saran (or plastic) wrap over the cream. You may change this every 12 hours, washing the skin with soap and water.

Biafine for burns: Biafine is an excellent treatment for any burn that is not open or blistered. We commonly use it for laser resurfacing patients to promote healing. The most important thing is to avoid picking at the skin that is burned to avoid scarring. Aloe vera would certainly be an option to help with ay discomfort.

Hair removal burn: Superficial second degree burns usually require minimal management--aquaphor maybe. Biafin is an herbal which is used to enhance the bodys cellular response to injury.Steroids impair healing, thin tissues and inhibit that cell mediated tissue repair. The two have opposite effects.
