Answer #1

Dear justaquestion1, Don’t use either one. A burn can easily become infected and nothing but a bit of soap and water…then cover with a breathable bandage with something like Polysporin or Ozonol. Butter put on a hot burn will continue to cook on the burn making it worse. Tooth paste dries out the burn and that’s the last thing you want. Sue…good luck

Answer #2

definately cool it with cool water.

NEVER use ice, butter, toothpaste, ointment, etc. these are horrible for a burn.

If it’s a small burn like on your hand or finger or just a small patch. you can wet a piece of gauze and put it on it. If it’s a larger burn put a piece of dry gauze on it and I suggest going to have it checked out.

Trust me on this…I’m an EMT-B =)

Answer #3

For a serious burn, immediately cool it with cool water then go to the ER.

For minor burns I cool it with cool water than apply aloe. I like to use real aloe from a plant. I cut about a 1” piece of leaf, cut the edges so I can open it up, then I rub it on the area or squeeze some juice out. I haven’t found anything that works any better than aloe though sometimes it stings a bit.

Answer #4

Use aloe.

Answer #6
