home remedy for burn - #14681
I am really worried about this burn I got while cooking last week. I was trying to make dinner, and you know how it goes, I accidentally touched the hot oven rack and now I've got this reddened, painful spot on my hand. It’s been a few days, and it’s still hurting quite a bit—def not healing as fast as I hoped. I tried ice on it at first, but I read somewhere that maybe a home remedy for burn could be better? Like, I've heard of using aloe vera or honey?? But does that really help, or is it just one of those things people say? I mean, it kinda feels dumb asking this, but I’m not sure what to do. I don't want to mess it up, you know? Also, if it’s swelling, does that mean I should see a doctor? My sister told me she had a similar burn and used some random home remedy for burn with vinegar that worked wonders for her—should I try that too? I just don’t have a clue what’s best. Anyone got some solid home remedy for burn suggestions that actually work? I’m really just hoping to make this heal faster!
