Neosporin is what I've been using so far.

Organic coconut oil for me.

Don't put any greasy stuff on it. The damage is already done and the wound doesn't hurt, so leave it be and exposed to the air. If it needs protection from rubbing on things, you might put a clean gauze pad over it and change it twice a day until the pad no longer picks up fluid from the injury. It will heal faster if left alone. Do watch for infection. If it becomes infected, run to the doctor right away.

Your skin has three layers. From afar, it appears you had a first or second degree burn (affected the first or second layer of skin). Expect some scaring. If you are lucky, the scar will be light. Do not pick at the wound - during the early stages of healing, picking will increase the scar and extend healing time.

At this time, I don't have any advice on applying any antiseptics. If you think you some, consult a professional. If you do see a professional, it is important that the wound is not messed up with greases. That interferes with diagnosis and what he/she may recommend.

Aloe. Not the store bought stuff, that stuff is often fake aloe made with alcohol. Get aloe straight from the plant. Always works for my burns and cuts.

Jemdandy gave great advice...yet so did Rhizo and everyone else. Follow Jemdandys advice until the after healing than use organic coconut oil. Course this is only IMMHO.

My dermatologist always recommends plain white petroleum jelly and a bandage. Moist healing. That's her recommendation for something requiring stitches like a mole she removed from DH's shoulder, to the little areas she freezes to remove. Covered, moist. Opposite of what my natural inclination would be which is clean and dry, but she insists.

morz8, a joke I heard once about dermatologists is that their training involves only two principles - dry wounds or spots need to be moistened (as with petroleum jelly) and moist wounds need to be dried.

Later there are silicone scar reduction pads you can use to keep it from developing. They are available at pharmacies. Generic is as good as name brand. You wear them a long time but they do help.

I swear by this product, vitamin E ointment. I get it at any GNC but can get online. I also use it every night for my lips.

Once the wound has healed, you can improve the appearance of a scar (or stretch marks) with Bio-Oil.

Our dermatologists and surgeons have told us sunlight can cause scars to heal very dark. Until the scar is healed, cover with a bandage. Once the scar has healed, apply sunscreen to the area if you're out in the sun.

javiwa: My plastic surgeon advised me to do just the opposite — expose my leg to the sun to aid in scar fading — after I suffered a severe burn on the inside of my lower right leg a few years ago! And sure enough, there’s only a hint (and I do mean a hint!) of discoloration at the burn site. I can only surmise that we were given such different advice because of our age, our skin type, the cause and/or severity of the wound and/or where on the body the wound was located.

That's interesting, Sammy (though our varying advice is of no help to OP, sadly). I've had a couple of skin biopsies taken; my son had a mole removed, and same son has had knee, wrist and foot surgeries (soccer did not treat this kid well, obviously!) by three different docs, and was given the same advice. Maybe it's a Texas thing. :) Or perhaps it's the different between a flesh wound vs a surgical scar.

Gee whiz! I’ll say soccer did not treat your son well, poor kid! And it’s not just the advice that may be a Texas thing: My 11 year-old nephew has had open heart surgery, knee surgeries and a terrible burn on the back of his hand from pulling a pot of freshly brewed coffee off the kitchen counter and onto himself (talk about a horrific sight!) and it all happened in...Texas! :0

P.S. Surgeries and injuries aside, I do love Texas. ;)

Call your doctor and get sylvadine.

I agree with aloe. I bought mine in the store, but it's 100% aloe. My orthopedic surgeon recommended it after I had ankle surgery. I have three long incisions that are barely visible.

I don't think anyone on here is a MD. Call you doctors office for advice.

I have used the contents of a vitamin E capsule on two bad cooking burns with amazing results. I cooled the burn under running water for 20 minutes. Then I squeezed the contents of the vitamin E capsule on the burn, which was red. The pain went away in about a half hour. Neither burn ever blistered, and the red disappeared within two days. I kept reapplying the vitamin E every several hours for a day or two.

javiwa, you wrote "Our dermatologists and surgeons have told us sunlight can cause scars to heal very dark. Until the scar is healed, cover with a bandage. Once the scar has healed, apply sunscreen to the area if you're out in the sun. "

My DD and I were both given the exact same advice. We each have dermatologists in our own city and I have very pale skin and DD has a darker Mediterranean complexion. Mine was a burn scar and hers was a surgical scar. Our scars are now barely visible, and the opposite approach did the same for Sammy. It's just very confusing when doctors give conflicting advice.

Superficial burns (previously called "1st degree") do not involve blistering. Blistering occurs with partial thickness burns (AKA "2nd degree").

Neosporin in great for cuts, burns, scrapes, etc. Keeps scars from forming IMO.

"I don't think anyone on here is a MD. Call you doctors office for advice" just asking general advice. I don't think its anything I need to call the dr. about. People get burns everyday, just wondering what others have tried.

Manuka Honey. I used manuka honey soaked bandages on a burn from my heat gun. There is still some slight darkening in places, but my skin is smooth.

I had a dermatologist suggest I use Vitamin E oil on an old scar.
