Seek immediate medical help if you think the burn is worse than first degree. As always, prevention and preparedness are the best tools against serious injury. There are various topical solutions to help treat burns. The old treatment for burns used to be to apply oil or butter directly to the burn. By applying oil or a fatty substance to a burn, you are only giving more fuel to burn longer in your skin.
Oil traps the heat in the body, forcing the heat deeper into the skin.
Gel from the aloe vera plant is commonly used, with some success, to ease the pain and the burning feeling, due to the great amount of water in the liquid. It offers immediate pain relief by cooling the burn and stopping its progression. BurnFree gel is made of de-ionized pure water that is thickened with a gelling agent, enabling the water to stay over the burn area. This hydrogel formula remains stable at a wide range of temperatures, so even if you freeze BurnFree, it will be perfectly good to use when it is unfrozen again. It is not a drug and there are no active ingredients, so it is safe to use for people with allergies.
