what is the best cream for burn skin - #22054

Saanvi

I am really worried about my skin right now. Last week, I accidentally spilled hot coffee on my forearm, and now I can’t stop thinking about what is the best cream for burn skin. The area is red and sore, and honestly, pretty ugly. I rinsed it off with cold water, and the pain was unbearable at first, but it’s getting better. Still, I’m not sure if I’m taking care of it right. I read online about aloe vera gel and other options, but what is the best cream for burn skin? The pharmacy had a bunch of choices, but I felt overwhelmed. Some sounded like they could help, but others seemed like they were just for minor irritations and not for serious burns. Should I be looking for something that has specific ingredients? Like, I don’t know, hydrocortisone or silver sulfadiazine? I just want to be sure I’m doing this right because I want to avoid any infections or scars. Also, anyone know how long this usually takes to heal? What is the best cream for burn skin that I can safely use, and how can I tell if it’s working? Thanks for any advice!
