Gently wash the burn clean with tepid, soapy water. If the skin isn't broken, just let it air-dry, then loosely bandage to keep the area clean. If the rash hasn't disappeared -- or is not greatly reduced -- in about 12 hours, consider using an antimicrobial cream or ointment, like NeoSporin. Once more, if the problem persists 12 more hours with no improvement, time to see a doctor. Steroids tend to reduce immune reaction, so they sometimes promote infection. That's one possibility; the other is you had an allergic reaction to the hydrocortisone cream. Removing it should help considerably.
yes, I have a script for this medication.
If you have a burn from Nair, you can get some 1 percent hydrocortisone cream from the drugstore, if you don't already have some. Dr. Joseph S. Eastern says that if the cream doesn't help, you may need to get a prescription cream from your doctor.
only apply ice!
Applying Silvadene cream to a burn may not necessarily qualify as an OSHA recordable injury, as the classification depends on the severity of the burn and the treatment required. If the burn is minor and only requires first aid, it typically wouldn't be recordable. However, if the burn is severe enough to require medical treatment beyond first aid, it could be considered recordable. It’s important to evaluate the specific circumstances and OSHA guidelines to make a determination.
Mosquito bites go away on their own, but you can speed the process up by applying a cream such as burn cream or Neosporin, and refrain from scratching the bite which will only aggravate it more.
Yes. Ice-cream can burn your tongue if the ice-cream is really, really freezing cold.
No, unless you don't use a hair protectant.
i got a burn from a curling iron. rub the burn on your ear, or rub alchohol on it
To help a burn heal and minimize its appearance, you can start by running the affected area under cool water for 10-15 minutes and then applying an over-the-counter burn cream or aloe vera gel. Keep the burn clean and covered with a sterile bandage to protect it as it heals. If the burn is severe, seek medical attention.
NO. Any oil based cream will 'cake' and will act to form a sort of layer that keeps the heat in and will worsen the burn. Use a very thin very light gel or cream such as aloe vera(if you can get hold of a plant and cut the leaves its fantastic) you will need to apply very very regularly, if the burn is bad then look at applying as soon as the gel has been absorbed
depends on how severe the burn was.
A Nair chemical burn typically takes about 1 to 3 weeks to heal, depending on the severity of the burn. To promote healing, you can apply soothing agents like aloe vera gel or over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and discomfort. It's important to keep the area clean and moisturized and avoid further irritation. If the burn worsens or shows signs of infection, consult a healthcare professional.
