burn ointment cream - #20273

Advika

I am really worried about a burn I got while cooking, and I’ve been trying to figure out which burn ointment cream is the best to use. It all happened last week when I was frying some food, and a hot splash of oil hit my skin. At first, I thought it was just a minor thing, like a little redness. But it started to hurt more, and I could see a blister forming. I went to the pharmacy, and the pharmacist recommended a burn ointment cream, but there were so many options. Some burn ointment creams had aloe vera, while others claimed to have special healing properties. I bought one that was supposed to help with pain and prevent infection, but I’m not sure if I made the right choice or if I should try a different burn ointment cream. I have some friends suggesting I try honey instead, which seems so weird but they swear by it. Like, is honey better than a burn ointment cream? Can I use a burn ointment cream for all types of burns, or are there specific ones I should look for? How long does it usually take for the burn to heal with a cream? I’m kinda stressed about it, and I really want to avoid any scarring. What do you think?
