hot milk burn treatment - #14961

Veer

I am really worried because my son had an accident while making his own cocoa the other night. He ended up spilling a whole cup of hot milk on his arm. It looked really bad at first, like red and swollen, but not blistered thankfully. I wasn’t sure what to do right away and just put his arm under cold water for a while, which seemed to help a bit. Later, I read about hot milk burn treatment online, and there are so many different suggestions! Some say to use aloe vera, while others recommend ointments or just keeping it clean and covered. I wish I knew the best hot milk burn treatment because he’s been a bit whiny about it and it is still sore a day later. Should I have taken him to a doctor, or is this something that can just heal at home with the right hot milk burn treatment? I really don’t want him to have any scars or, god forbid, get an infection or something because I totally want to find the right hot milk burn treatment for him. And what if there’s something we should avoid? Thanks for any advice.
