Answer #3

Shud u wrap the burn or no?

Answer #4

if u go on quickcare.org and scroll down and click on minor burns that should tell you everything you need to know because you treat burns in different ways, depending on the severity.

Answer #5

For minor burns there is nothing better than aloe vera. Just snip a piece of leaf and either squeeze the juice out or cut an edge and open it up. Sometimes it stings a little but I haven’t found anything that heals minor burns up more quickly.

For anything more than a minor burn don’t put anything on it because you are likely to make things worse. For serious burns cool the area with cool water if possible and seek medical assistance.
