see yr doctor asap, and ask him to refer you to a Dermatologist at Hospital who will be able to prescribe gels, creams or even laser removal of the scare.

Overkill. Burns can take up to a week to heal.

Get sober quick, and don't touch hair-irons when drunk!

for the love of god NO. Do NOT put creams on burns unless they have been professionally administered by trained medics.

what are you on? it's a tiny hair curlers burn, not a third degree one...

EDIT: it even says on the creams for "minor burns"

Your still never menna put cream onto a burn. Thats why they make burn gels... not burn creams.

Don’t use anesthetic creams or sprays; they may actually slow healing. Antibiotic creams, such as Bacitracin and Neosporin, neither help nor hinder healing.

if you weren't meant to do it, why would they put for minor burns as one of the things you can use it on, on the pot/tube?

I think that's for when they're healing, rather than immediately after the burn occurs, when you should certainly not use them.

To the OP: put a cold flannel on it if it's still sore, and go to bed, sober up and stop spamming the boards.

To make money?

They can't just put stuff like that on medical goods if it weren't true.

Fair enough not straight after - i would have assumed she would have run it under cold water etc. I did it though and it seemed to help. Certainly no adverse reactions.

They probably shouldn't really - you're certainly not meant to put oily creams on a fresh burn, it'll make it worse. I'd only ever use them to keep it moisturised and clean, not as an immediate treatment.

Why is everyone telling her to sober up? :confused:

Doesn't say she's been drinking anywhere?

Hair straighteners get to 300°C or sth so curlers prolly the same - ouch!

Don't put cream on it only water.

On a similar subject, I have a graze thing on my face where I fell out of bed onto my clothes airer ( :redface:

I wasnt drunk). I dont like my face like that so anything to make it heal better? I put some antiseptic cream on it last night, shall I keep on with that or just let it heal on its own? Will it take long? :frown:
