What could i put on a burn ? anything from home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aloe vera: First, you want to cool the burn. Put it under cool, gently running water, or use cold (not ice) compresses. You could break a leaf off of an aloe vera plant, and rub the gel on the burn -- could be very soothing. Cover the burn with a sterile gauze (not fluffy cotton) bandage. If the burn is more serious, do not break blister - if infection develops, see dr. If a major burn, call 911 for help.
