Home treatment for the burn starts with washing the affected area with cool liquids .Do not use ice as it is too cold and could further damage the skin. You could use cool milk or soda to wash the burn but remember to follow it up with a rinse using cold water. Cold compress over the burn using a soft cloth soaked in cool water is also an excellent remedy. Repeat the compress every hour for the whole day. Cleaning the burn regularly too is a necessary step. Use a mild soap or hydrogen peroxide for the cleaning. If you notice blisters, leave them alone. Having thoroughly cleaned the burn, you can apply an antibacterial ointment. Drinking a lot of water and fluids also helps by keeping the skin hydrated thus expediting the healing. In addition, supplement your diet with proteins through intake of foods like nuts, beans, eggs, milk and milk products. Vitamin C from citrus fruits and vegetables like broccoli too will prove extremely beneficial. I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist if the symptoms worsen .Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
