My sister applied a facecloth with water too hot & it burnt a patch of her forehead. The skin peeled & now it’s all red and noticable. She has a party to go to in a few days, any quick remedies on getting rid of burns?!

Answer #1

as bella has already said, use polysporin. - it heals burns quick everytime I get one! never EAVER use mustard or butter… or other food remidies youve heard of to put on burns, itll cause higher risks of infection!!

Answer #2

I agree… medical attntion is for sure needed.

Make sure that she does not cover the burn,the heat has to escape from the skin. once burning feeling has gone away, put a cream on it like polysporin. it will hel prevent infection and then you can cover. Clean regularly to make sure no infection can happen.

good luck

Answer #3

Well if the skin peeled off she should probably go to a doctor and get it checked he might prescribe a cream to prevent the area getting infected… I would not put mustard on it if I was you… You could try using sudocrem or other creams like that, that might work… Xo:)

Answer #4

Put some mustard on it.
