hello! I have unfortunately burnt my arm with boiling water about a week ago. I have since been in treatment every day at the hospital but apparently there's not much, that can be done at this time. I have 2nd degree burns and for now, all i do is wash the wound (sterile), apply silver cream and bandages. I also take 2000 mg Vit C daily and about 1000 Vit E plus a multivitamin for healthy skin. Haven't taken any of the Antibiotics the doctors gave me and I am fine.
My question ist..is there anything i can do to speed up the healing. The wounds are still open but i feel they are getting better by the day. Doctors said the wound may take another 3 weeks to heal.Pls advise, thanks!

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 351,879i am one of those rare folks that really can't use Aloes
off top of my head, i know that cucumber will help
also tea bag poultices when i had severe body burns/
i would steep a bag of reg tannic acid tea bag/
and apply at tepid warmth to the burns..
yes it discolors the skin surrounding it,
but i could wash that off later...
what it did do , was help a natural dry scab to form to protect new skin under it
and also it stopped the itching/
if you are new to having severe burns...
i hate to say this.. but be prepared..
if you currently have no pain/
after about the 7th day the nerves will start to reheal
and it will hurt like heck..
avoid high water extremes no ice or hot water forms..
i will update this asap to giv eyoua few herbs that can help you painwise internaly
and some that can help topically
be sure to keep skin around the scab softened/
without softening the scab
after you get a scab there
dab a bit of tea tree oil
with a small dab of say almond or vit e oil
on and around scab area to help heal
and as an antiseptic ,antibacterial agent
you can get these herbs and the tea tree oil

hope this helps a bit

thanks to both of you for the tips.. yes i just passed the 7th day and i had dreadful pains. i never immagined burns hurt like that and i thought it was all over with pain after the actual burn...:-( anyway. today i read some interesting posts on the net and actually i am trying out something right now which is, to apply natural honey. Apparently this also has amazing healing properties...I will also try the other stuff...just see which one works fine.
So i am going to have a honey-smelling sleep tonight and let you know later how it went!

This is a reply to # 351,879I cannot add much to the treatments already posted by others. And while I realize this is not the proper forum for products, one needs to be mentioned. A product called Willard Water (also called CAW or Catalyst Altered Water). I burned my arm on an exhaust pipe of a lawn mower, promptly put some Willard Water on it and the pain went away instantly. The wife of a friend had touched a stove burner that had just lost its glow, put Willard Water on it and also went away instantly.
I recommend this to anyone. Lots of uses for it and all that I have personally tried, worked just like they said it would. If interested, check several sites. Lots of variation in prices.
Below is a link to Google's search page. It is well worth having in everyone's medicine cabinet.

This is a reply to # 351,893hello,
well it's been a while and i just thought i'll let you know what really helped..I had an amazing experience with applying pure honey at least twice daily and covering it with a dressing. Most of my burn healed up completely within 8 days and the scars are not elevated. By coincidence I also came across a medical report on herbal cream developed by a Chinese Doctor which I am now applying combined with honey. This cream is really worth having in the First Aid Cabinet - it's based on bee wax and sesame oils and called MEBO.
